Marylene's Fallacy

Marylene's Fallacy is a unique.

Mechanics
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 either or Dance with Death is applied.

Wtih a base 100% critical strike chance, the critical strike chance with is 84%, following the Luck formula.

$CritChance_{Lucky} = 2 \times CritChance_{Default} - {CritChance_{Default} } ^ 2$

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

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

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, but tapers of as critical strike chances approaches 100% or when your other sources of Critical Strike Multiplier is high.
