please post a screenshot or tell me exactly what does it say on your character sheet. It's not possible to come close to a 100% chance of critical.

"Increase weapon base critical chance by..."

for instance, increasing a 5% by 100% means doubling it to a 10%

Ok thats doesnt make sense the way i read it adds 100% to base crit so weapon would have 110%
The math to me doesnt make sense perhaps it shpuld be worded differntly?

He's correct. When you increase something by a percentage, you're always looking at a multiplier. 100% increase would be a 2x multiplier.

Additions are marked by a + sign, and from a quick look it's also noted by a word like "add/gain/additional"

It's not possible to list exactly how much your chance to critical is in the way you're requesting as each weapon has a different chance to critical, hence the reason why it says that it increases the critical chance by 100%. If you increase something by 100% you double the chance it will occur, so a weapon that has a 7% chance gets a 14% chance instead, while a weapon that has a 9% chance goes to 18%. You'll never get a 100% chance to critical - doing so with a skill like Massive Criticals would make you invincible.

Imagine you work selling cars, and for each car you sell you earn a 10% of the sale.

Your boss is happy with your work and says he's going to give you a +50% raise. You'd then gain a 15% of each sale, because +50% means adding a 50% of what you already had. You wouldn't earn a 60% :D

How does the base critskill work it sais my bow has 100% chance of bade crit shouldnt i be criting all the time? I dnt crit at all so please explain

Dont take what they're saying as to make the skill worthless. Those crit skills are necessary to increase DPS for warriors and rogues alike. What seems like a small increase actually has a big in game effect. This effect is biggest with daggers and 2h weapons!
