So, the reset event is going to end tomorrow, and I still can’t decide my final build. My question is, do cassis crista’s attributes multiply the final damage of the skills or just a flat % to the skill modifier itself? just wondering whether it’s worth it to reset my build to peltasta for umbo blow and rimblow ( I am a sw3-hop2-barb-shin-murm) Thanks!
Multiplies total damage (in a sense; it’s more complicated than that) but before concentrate/elemental damage is added.
Hoplite 3 is also a good option since the attribute increases your final damage to medium size mobs by 20%.
Pelta 1 is kind of meh since you won’t have High Guard’s attribute to double Umblo and Rim blow damages.
Barb 1 in that build feels kind of out of place. I would have gone for hop 3, just my opinion though.
Thanks for the answer Eternal! I was afraid that it would works like agny necklace. I am looking for a burst build, so i chose barb1 for the additional slash damage (it’s +50% right?). but now it seems that pelt is better instead of barb1 (2x umbo and rim blow > double slash +cleave debuff), pelt also offers swash to group mobs too. Anyway since hoplite 3 doesnt gives anything good for bossing i didn’t choose it.
If your purpose is bossing then Barb will really do better. Clones don’t benefit from Murmillo’s attributes. Cleave debuff, however, increases their damage.
EDIT:
Yes its 50%
Well ok, let’s do some math:
---- Barbarian 1 Path ----
Double Slash 608% atk, 912% with cleave.
Your damage: 912% * 3 overheats = 2736%
Clone damage: 912% * 2 overheats * 5 clones = 9120%
Total: 11856%
---- Pelt 1 Path ----
Double Slash 608% atk
Your damage: 608% * 3 overheats = 1824%
Clone damage: 608% * 2 overheats * 5 clones = 6080%
Total: 7904%
Umblo Blow 297% atk
Your damage 297% * 2 overheats * 2.5 murm atrib = 1485%
Clone damage: 297% * 2 overheats * 5 clones = 2970%
Total: 4455%
Rim Blow same as Umblo Blow.
Total:l 4455%
Overall damage with Double Slash + Umblo + Rim: 16814%
So ok, maybe I’m wrong. Considering your clones hit all skills and you only use them once per clone duration, pelt 1 actually has more dps.

yeah, still, counting the modifier itself, 2x rim and umbo blow with clones are still better than half of double slash damage that we get from cleave. so my final build would be pelt1 instead of barb1, I think,since pelt also gives swash buckling (In case i use this toon for farming)
EDIT: just when I was about to click post, ur reply came out XD, and thanks for the detailed math!
I’m not considering 3 overheats on clones for Double Slash. I don’t remember now if they fixed the bug where clones would only have 2 overheats on their skills. If clones can cast 3 overheats on Double Slash, Barb’s overall dps would increase to 16416%. Would still be slightly worse than pelta.
it’s fixed now, clones could do 3x double slash
Ah ok, math is slightly wrong then, but pelta would still do better if all skills hit 
Small cooldowns on Umbo/Rim also make them much easier to use twice during clone duration.
Now I am sure that I am going to pick pelt, since I’ve never done the math properly myself(just a rough guess) that’s why i created this thread. Once again thanks for the math! it have cleared my doubt about the damage.
