before the patch it's doing 6.7m crits on average, and now it's 4.4m

to compare this

my magic missile is 170% with +29% +skill dmg, +0% fire dmg the average crit num is 2.4m

the frozen orb on the otherhand is 393% with +30% +skill dmg, + 19% cold dmg was doing 6.5m crit with is almost correct and now it's doing 4.4~4.7m
