Choosing the Scout Profession increases Critical Strike chance by the following formula: <code>critChance += critChance * 0.5</code>. All critical strike chance bonuses are multiplicative, not additive: around 5-10% depending on your weapon.
For example if using two [[Aquamarine Ring|aquamarine rings]] (which increase critical chance by 10% each), the chance to critical hit with the Scout profession would be calculated as: <code>[base * 1.5 * 1.1 * 1.1]</code>.
The Desperado profession increases the damage of critical hits from roughly x3 to approximately x21. Combined with the effects of Scout, the chance to land a critical hit is roughly 2%, resulting in approximately 42% extra damage in the long term. This damage percent is however not entirely accurate as critical strike damage can possibly exceed a target's remaining health.
The maximum critical chance is 10.89%, achieved with a [[Wicked Kris]], an [[Aquamarine Ring]] in each ring slot, and the Scout profession.
