Wrathful Debuff?
So, I main zerker, have over 200 crit, and a full set of slaughter. When I do Island of Dawn I fiddle with the stats to optimize. While doing so I noticed something weird. My zerk can crit quite often and well when I am using Carving, Bitter, Savage, and Focused niveots, but when I change out to use the wrathful my crits seem to fall off MASSIVELY. I go from something like 50/50 to 1 in 10. The variable that causes this seems to be the wrathful niveot. Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this too?

So I did a quick study. Here is what I got.
The conditions are as follows:
-All hits on a brutal basilisk.
-All hits done to the face.
-No crit enhancing buffs employed at any time.
-Only using cyclone with double crit chance for all hits.
-Just for safety, all cyclones charged up to level 4 and released. Never very early or late. (As is humanly possible anyways.)
-Carving, focused, and savage niveots on at all times.(Only wrathful/bitter interchange.)
-Castanic female zerk (Very unlikely a factor, but there you have it.)
-Crit chance of 220 total. Base 58.
Without the wrathful niveot I struck 56 crits/ out of 120 total hits.
With wrathful I struck 59 crits/ out of 138 total hits.
Evidence suggests my hunch may be right. BUT. THIS IS A VERY SMALL SAMPLING SIZE SO IT DOES NOT MEASURE THE PROBABILITIES PERFECTLY. I know that, but someone will argue it all the same. Cant say I had the time of my life gathering the data, but Im gonna look into it further, seems like the dip in my crits is more severe than that. Last time I was escorting a guildie through the basic IOD, and god it felt I could not crit [filtered]. Threw out the wrathful then BAM, soooo much better.
im hope crit factor is 220+58 = 278 crit factor
total 220 crit factor is too low for bersekers
for my, wrathful + savage niveot is better for soloed iob or others bams, because wrathful aplyes for front and side ( because you cant stack with bitter )
and least, bams resist crit and damage from front5

Please realise that Wrathful only affects the damage increase of the Crit damage, not the crit chance of the skill in front.
Your sample size is way to small. The margin of error on this case is +-8% with confidence interval of 95%
So your first test have a crit chance of 46%+-8% and the second is 42%+-8%. This two tests overlap each other from 38% to 50% crit chance. If you need something like 5000 hits to start meaning something
