is rather straightforward in what it does; a massive amount of critical strike multiplier in exchange for 40% less critical strike chance.

With the base 150% Critical Strike Multipler the breakeven point where Marylene's does less damage is if your base critical strike multiplier before equipping Marylene's is higher than 235% (85% additional critical strike multiplier).

Version Changes
2.6.0
  • No longer has the property non-critical strikes deal 40% less damage.
2.2.0

  • Divine Orbs are required to update the following to their new values: All craftable Jewel mods which grant Critical Strike Multiplier, Facebreaker, Marylene's Fallacy, Fragment of Eternity (the Descent: Champions Unique), Bino's Kitchen Knife, Romira's Banquet, Shadows and Dust, Ungil's Harmony, Eclipse Solaris, Death's Harp, Mortem Morsu, The Goddess Scorned and Abyssus.
2.0.0
  • Non-critical strike damage penalty has been reduced from 75% to 60%.
