Correct. Unless you are incapable of using ACT and crunching the numbers, you should absolutely feel some obligation to help yourself, and god forbid, contribute the community.<br /> <br />And if you...

If you don't want to use ACT to figure things out, then why care about your stats?<br /> <br />Just equip something that looks cool.<br /> <br />It's what I do. And what Corydonn does, I think.

Which is what I said. But if a slight fluctuation in proc maintenance results in legendary crits hitting less than regular crits, they're pretty wimpy.<br /> <br />I still believe it isn't working...

I'm pretty sure something is bugged, as is obvious by legendary crits hitting lower than regular crits sometimes. If that gets addressed, I have to imagine myth crits will go up a bit. Maybe it's not...

Probably has something to do with the spread on the new crits and the lack of the "max hit plus one" mechanic. And since wards are less effected by crit bonus, you're not fluctuating as much as other...

Pretty sure there is no consideration for the floor on these new crits. Unlike old crits, which were max damage +1 at a minimum. It's why there is such wild fluctuation on these, and some are...

Of course. I totally forgot them. The existence of even more RNG that I didn't mention in the new critical is exactly the same as the current critical system which doesn't have RNG.<br /> <br />The...

I commented on "Sensible implementation" not "Current implementation". I was complaining about the philosophy behind a gimmicky new mechanic with valid concerns for balance.<br /> <br />I'm not going...

Okay, the example I gave was " a way not to do critical hits". Not 'The exact way these new critical hits are being done". As should be obvious by the previous linked comment regarding a "30-40%...

I never said mythical crits were 5x-10x damage. It was an example. Your parse would be close to double or triple, if you somehow got a mythical crit on every cast.<br /> <br />Which, again, won't...

Multi attack, Doublecast and flurry are nothing compared to the new critical system.<br /> <br />The concern isn't that RNG changes the number to a different number. The concern is that victory could...

Auto Attack provides a skill floor. That is one of the purposes of auto attack. Unfortunately, it still requires that you understand math and how to gear for auto attack.
