Channeling and Crits - How Do They Work?

[starsrift]

Topic sums up my question pretty neatly. The wiki is ambiguous and says that channeling increases damage "based off total melee damage", but doesn't give mention of crits. Is it multiplicative or additive (base damage x critD x channel OR [base damage x critD] + [base damage x channel])? Doesn't really change my build either way, I'm just curious and wonder if someone's crunched the numbers on it already!

For those wondering, I'm looking into abusing my Fragor P with its obscene CritC and superior Channel multiplier.

Channeling ads dmg like pressure point mod.

Channeling adds a damage multiplier that's additive with combo counter multiplier. So at 2x combo counter and with 1.5x channeling, you'll do a total of 2.5x more damage.

Channeling damage mods also don't increase your total damage while channeling, only the bonus damage. So Killing Blow only gives +120% increase to the extra 0.5x damage and not the total 1.5x channeling multiplier.

Additive, then. Thanks! :)

Channeling and crits are multiplicative. It's only additive with combo counter multiplier.

Oh! Well, then!
