Choosing the Scout Profession increases Critical Strike chance by the following formula: <code>critChance += critChance * 0.5</code>. In fact, all critical strike chance bonuses are multiplicative, not additive. Even with all possible bonuses, it's around 5-10% crit. chance at best, so even with the Desperado Profession it can be difficult to justify over the flat damage increases of the Fighter branch.
(Tested crit chance with Scout skill and two +10% crit chance rings. Chance to crit is multiplicative not additive: around 5-10% max depending on your weapon [base * 1.5 * 1.1 * 1.1] with all boosts, not 50% + 10% + 10% = 70%). The max crit chance is 10.89% which can be achieved with a [[Wicked Kris]], A [[Topaz Ring]] in each ring slot and the Scout Profession
Desperado increases the damage of critical hits from roughly x3 to approximately x21. With the required Scout skill, characters crit roughly 2% of the time, resulting in approximately 42% extra damage in the long term. This is, however, not entirely accurate, as critical strikes will be virtually guaranteed to do more damage than targets have remaining health.
