What Bifurcates Critical Hits means
PoE2 definitionHits with this weapon roll against their Critical Hit chance twice when determining if they are a Critical Hit.
If either roll succeeds, the hit will be a Critical Hit, and thus the Critical Damage Bonus will apply as normal.
If both rolls succeed, the hit will be a Critical Hit, and the Critical Damage Bonus will apply twice to that Hit.
If a modifier makes your Critical Hit Chance Lucky, that Luck will apply individually to both of these rolls.
