Diablo – the highest critical chance and critical damage that is possible through items alone

diablo-3

Is it possible to get 100% critical chance through items and how high can my critical damage get?

Please explain the gear needed.
i.e. Bow with 100% critical damage with socket 100% critical damage = 200% critical damage

Here is a list with max values for each slot of Critical Hit Chance / Critical Hit Damage

  • Max per gearset: 54% / 450%

  • gear slots: 7 / 5

  • Weapn: 0% / 100% + (100% gem)
  • Offhnd: 10% / 0%
  • Shield: 10% / 0%
  • Amulet: 10% / 65%
  • Ring: 6% / 35%
  • Belt: 0% / 0%
  • Boots: 0% / 0%
  • Bracer: 6% / 0%
  • Chest: 0% / 0%
  • Gloves: 10% / 50%
  • Helm: 6% / 0%
  • Pants: 1% / 0%
  • Shldr: 0% / 0%
  • Cloak: 0% / 0%
  • Mighty Belt: 0% / 0%
  • Spirit Stone: 6% / 0%
  • Voodoo Mask: 6% / 0%
  • Wizard hat: 6% / 0%

As you can see the Max per gear set is: 55% for Critical Hit Chance and 450% for Critical Hit Damage, this does not include legendary or set items, that could increase these values even further.

Even with skills like + 10% from Archery and + 2*6% Demon Hunter Skill Bonus: Multishot (+Crit) you will only have 64%. It should not be possible to reach 100% Critical Hit Chance with any gear.

Edit: Actually you could go for 2 weapons instead of one and so you can get 650% (another 100% + 100% socket) Critical Hit Damage.

I made a rough estimate what your maximum DPS could be:

Assuming you have a 1500 DPS weapon with a socket, 3008 Main Attribute (DEX) and 1,9 APS (with best modification), 54% Critical Hit Chance and 450% Critical Hit Damage you will get about 380k DPS. Assuming you have even more damage modifications like +20% more damage from certain skills / passives will allow you to output about 460k+ DPS.

Demon Hunters can gain an extra 7% from the two item bonus of Natalya's Wrath. The only legendary that provides a crit bonus in a non-standard slot is Inna's Glory, providing 1% in the pants slot.

Wanderlust (ring) + spirit of adventure (amulet) gives set bonus: endless journey, which gives +50% critical hit damage?
