I recall getting 60% crit, and when casting Force Lightning I get crits with all 4 tics of Lightning. This ability is off the GCD too.
The details say ModifyMetaStat: Amount=>0.6 so that means to mean you get 60% crit added to your ability. This ability does not make the character's sheet critical increase.

I found the real use in this ability to be the increase in Force Lightning range. While the crit is nice, the range increase is nice to finish off a running target who is too far for Shock, and your other abilities are on cooldown. The crit helps finish them off if they're at low health. It's even better if you're teaming with someone because of the slowing effect, allowing your friend to catch up while you force lightning from 25 feet.

After all this time I realise I was reading this wrong, I thought it was ADDING 60% to your crit chance but it seems to only be multiplying what you already have, eg 10% to 16% chance.........
extremely weaker than I thought, but I do remember using this often for healing my tank and getting near guaranteed crits, certainly felt more than a 20% chance..

Hoping to be proved wrong as I had planned using this for some burst and to generate crit based procs
