Mechanics

Marylene's Fallacy is rather straightforward in what it does; a massive amount of critical strike multiplier in exchange for 40% less critical strike chance.

With the base 150% Critical Strike Multipler the breakeven point where Marylene's does less damage is if your base critical strike multiplier before equipping Marylene's is higher than 235% (85% additional critical strike multiplier).


This, however is changed when Critial Strike Luck from Dance with Death is applied.

With a base 100% critical strike chance, the critical strike chance with Marylene's Fallacy is 84%, following the Luck formula.


CritChanceLucky=2 X CritChanceDefault-CritChanceDefault^2


(2*0.6)-(0.6^2)=0.84=84%


In every case where your critical strike multiplier before equipping Marylene's Fallacy is higher than 390% (150% base + 240% additional) using Marylene's Fallacy is a loss of opportunity as you have to invest massively into critical strike chance.


Marylene's Fallacy combined with Luck is most effective when your pre-Marylene's critical strike chance is between 50%-80%.

As the tables below show, using Luck is extremely beneficial for Marylene's Fallacy, but tapers of as critical strike chances approaches 100% or when your other sources of Critical Strike Multiplier is high.
