So, recent comments on Hydra have left me completely and thoroughly confused, particularly in regards to crit, and whether or not it works with Hydra.
Is it something specific to Venom Hydra? Because I've definitely seen crits on other runes, particularly Arcane Hydra as its AOE is particularly noticeable for the yellow numbers. So, two simple questions:
Does +crit chance work on Hydra? Does it depend on rune?
Does +crit damage work on Hydra? Does it depend on rune?
Hydra does scale off your crit chance. Hydra does not scale off your crit damage, it's always 50% crit damage. Hydra does scale off IAS, probably in a manner similar to WW, Blizzard, and Archon/Disintegrate beam.
As far as I remember venom hydra doesn't crit, but I know Arcane Hydra does, and unruned does. There have been a couple recent tests regarding the crit and crit damage on the official forums and they used the unruned hydra.
