On the subject of DPS mod, getting the neck and bow DPS mod adorns is a good idea. Don't forget the temporary adornments though, specifically the Danak Regimental Oilstones. If you dual wield (and you should) you can adorn both weapons for an extra 30 DPS mod. (You have to take off your secondary weapon and adorn it in a bag, then re-equip it.)It's not some thing I'd bother with for instances, but for raids it really helps out.

Yea I already do this, only I use MC or DA for it instead of dps (Depending on the group I'm in)Would DPS mod be better to use you think ?

My quick back of the envelope calculations: if you normally did 1000 DPS base autoattack damage, 6% melee crit would give you 500 more DPS 6% of the time, or another 30 DPS. If you instead used the oilstones to get another 30 DPS mod, that would give you another 30% base damage, or another 300 DPS.I may well be wrong, someone with a better understanding of the game mechanics can correct me.

<p>Unless you are near 130 dps mod, +dps adorns will be better than everything else.</p><p>The exact numbers in Scarry's calculation are not correct, but the thought of it is. I really don't feel like doing the exact calculation, as it's not that straight forward and can only be done with examples as e.g. the weapon used, and stats with and without adorns/buffs matter.</p><p>But suffice it to say that:- a melee crit is 1.3 times your actual hit, with a min value of the weapon's upper end +1 and a max value of (obviously) weapon's upper end * 1.3, so the weapon and its damage spread will matter- dps mod is on a curve, so +30 dps won't be 30% flat, +200 dps mod (which is the cap currently) equals +125%, so your total dps mod will have an impact on how much of a benefit an extra 30 dps mod has</p>
