Is this Gram riven worth using?

[Oldskinzz]

I was rolling my Gram riven, looking for stuff like +attack speed, +status chance and +range, then this popped up:

 

+172.2% Critical Damage

+172.9% Critical Chance

-33.9% Damage to Infested

MR8, rerolls 5, polarity -

(I'm unable to get the insert image function to work)

 

The stats look beautiful but I'm not sure if it's worth using. Wish I had a Rubico riven with these stats instead.

On a blood rush build only the CD would be useful perhaps? Though the CC could be useful to get Berserker going too.

Anyone with some pointers?

BR stacks with the CC. And since there is no end of Tiers you cannot get enough CC. Imagine 3000% CC: That's about a 30 times CD multiplier with one hit

Correct me if I'm wrong... but my understanding of BR was that it stacks additively with other crit mods? Meaning effective CC = (base cc) x (1 + blood rush bonus + other crit mod bonus) so the 172.9% riven bonus is equivalent to about just over 1 extra tier of BR... is that right?

Gnarls is correct, BR scales off your modded crit chance.

Thanks! So my memory was indeed wrong (which I'm glad it was 😁)

It's a better riven than I thought then.
