Can someone explain crit to me please.

I see all the top builds putting 7.5% crit on their 2H weapons. to get crit cap. I understand wanting all your hits to crit.

But. 200% crit bonus dmg literally doubles your crit damage, at least how it looks. When I take off my 200% crit weapon. my crit bonus dmg on my screen drops almost in half.

So. if I thinking of crit bonus damage correctly.
Say I have 100% crit bonus dmg. then when I do 100 normal dmg. a crit would be 200? Okay great.

So let's say I swing 100 times. I have 50% crit chance, and 50% base crit bonus.

That means 50 swings would do 150, and 50 swings would do 100. giving me 12,500 dmg.

So. let's say I get that extra 7.5% crit. now 58 (rounding up) do 150 dmg. giving me a total of 12,900

But, if I decide to go for doubling my crit dmg instead. so that 50 of my attacks now do 200 dmg. that gives me 15,000 dmg.

I can only assume my understanding of how crit works is wrong.
