The first 4 hits have a 1x multiplier. the 5th hit is 2x damage. the last is 4x damage. This damage multiplier is applied at the end of the formulas i believe.

Note that buc's are overlooking (unless i'm wrong, please do correct me if i am):
Base crit (if it was +100% damage) would move demo from doing 800 to 900 per hit. that'd be a 12.5% damage increase if it had a 100% activation rate (which it wont).
With SE instead of the +40% damage that buc's get (since they had no base crit), they'll end up with +100(from base) +140 (from SE).
That'll be a nice damage boost of about 30%.
Soloing with demo won't be that much better. Partying with SE at boss runs will be nicer. Especially with barrage because of the last 2 hits.
I don't care so much about soloing, because it's understandable. I'm happy that we can probably become a viable DPS class now. +30% damage from what we got is very significant. Our damage without SE and this passive crit is probably in the 50-70% range of this future change.
