Explo pot criticals.

I was on test center testing potions with 100 alchemy and 100% ep (100% is hard to get, and i sacraficed a lot in fitting it into a viable suit). The chance for a critical pot is supposed to be 10% /w max bonuses, I three 60 pots and Only got one critical. Also, it insta killed my 2nd account that had 124 hitpoints (60 fire when cursed). I really think that the chance of critical potions should be increased, based on alchemy, and ep, and that they should be capped at a reasonable amount of damage. 1/60 isnt really worth getting alchemy and 100 ep on a char, and the insta kill is a bit over the top. I believe if this could be looked at and tweaked it would make alchemy/explo pots better. Thanks!

I did find a logic issue in one of the if statements. If you are a player and do not hit the cap and that its critical, it fell as a pvm so it doubled the damage, so that explains the crazy damage, you were probably close to the cap but not at it.

I'll test the chance and see whats going on.

Max EP is 110 (that counts the skill natural EP) and the formula to determine if its critical is:

if EP>Random(1000)

So logically thats 10%, but guess the randomizer likes high numbers and it does not pick the low ones as often. I'll play around with it some more to get a decent chance.
