[jaz419]

you can use /dynamicdata stats.melee_crit_chanceto get your current melee crit chance.Beside that the only things enhancing your crit chance is equipment, buffs and items. So basically the first increase in crit you get with our AA tree (str line), and the next ones in higher levels with items.

Crits are definately quite rare untiil you get AA to enhance them.

Not directly no.  Str indirectly effects your crit chance merely by increasing your hit rate, but the only direct increases to your crit % come from gear, AAs and buff spells from other classes.
