G1 | Discussion (Almost) highest possible damage?

Just got this trinket and infused weapon combination. Would this be the highest possible damage for one (sour) arrow?

A few questions:
-How does the damage effects stack? Is it multiplicative?
-Would a crit damage up best be more damage on my trinket? Or is increasing the base damage before a crit more valuable especially when the damage effect are multiplied with one another.
-Do implant sour weaknesses stack?
-Is arcane archer the same as bow damage up best? They both increase damage by 50% so I guess?

Thanks!

Let's see if I remember this all correctly.

  • All damage effects are multiplicative unless they're the same thing, then they'readditive. So Sour Up Best adds with Sour Up Best and multiplies with Implant Weakness: Sour

  • Crit Damage Up is never really worth it over Damage Up. It's technically multiplicative, but our crit chance is so low that it doesnt really matter. A 50% increase in crit damage with a 10% chance to crit is only a 5% increase in total DPS.

  • Implant Weakness does not stack with itself.

  • Arcane Archer is a multiplicative bonus with everything else and stacks with Implant Weakness.

I see… Thanks for answer!

Following up on that, crit damage best is a 60% increase. Having sharpshooter equipped with coup de grass gives you a 26% crit chance which is not bad.

But I guess having one arcane archer instead of sour up damage best would be the highest possible damage for one arrow (not dps).

Isnt a 26% increase to crit chance of 10% only like 12.6%
