Can someone tell me how multipliers stack, e.g. spirited charge x3 and lance crit x3 =x6?

07-08-07, 11:21 PM The easiest way (for me) to keep track of it is to think of the critical multipliers in terms of added percentage. A x2 crit is +100%, x3 is +200%, x4 is +300%, x5 is +400%, etc.

So, your mounted deadly charge (+200%) using a lance (+200%) deals +400%, or x5 damage.
