In EQ1 it was called DEX...We lost our DEX crossin over to EQ2, so now AA is the way to go.<div></div>

Some have said Int does this - never tried it myself

Int does indeed increase spell crit/damage on damage spells.  I am unsure if it does the same for heal crits but i would assume so.As far as melee crits i know str increases outright damage, perhaps it increases crits too but wouldn't quote me on that.<div></div>

I also have several grandmaster ptions that for 10 minutes will grant a 4% crit on spell damage and heals/wards.  I come native with 1% on melee/spell damage/heal and ward so if i combined them al on a tough fight it would be 14.1% melee/combat arts, 39% spell and proc damage crit, 36% heal and ward crit.  Your biggest bang would be to max out your crit chances in the Achievement system plus gain buffs from troubadours and such...<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><BR>
