So, I (a destro warlock) have the Astral Antenna, and I use the addon true stat values. I have noticed that when it fully procs my critical strike shoots up to 72%, but diminishing returns give me a 40% penalty dropping me below what my normal critican chance is. Should I replace it, or dodge a certain amount of orbs? I have no idea what to do.
Can you explain further what you mean by this:
Diminishing returns can not take you below your baseline values, it just makes it gradually less beneficial. Yes, it would be optimal to stagger your orbs, but it isn’t optimal to not grab them at all.
The 40% penalty isn’t taking 40% of your crit, it is saying your crit rating is being converted into % at a worse rate (by needing 40% more crit for a 1:1 conversion)

Notice how the red line doesn’t at any point drop, it just starts to flatten.
Thank you so much!
