You.. had 12 cs?
Ofc you're gonna crit lol compare that to almost identical stats you posted with only 1cs and 10% crit rate

When I said clubs don't crit I meant it. If you get 1 crit in 50 hits you're lucky. If you're playing barb and put all your points in str like you should and don't have any +crit you're not going to crit almost ever.
It's not 0% but it's damn close.
Obviously if you put dex into the ratio you'll crit more often but I've known that for ages. The problem is you lose half the damage on the club so critting doesn't even matter lol.

We know that axes have less scaling but more base criting. The more scaling the less criting. If you put points in the opposite of the scale you won't gain the base damage but you gain a slightly higher chance to crit. In your tests you can see that although it does increase your chance to crit it's absolutely not worth it unless it's a totally free extra side mod. The times you crit a lot were more because you were using crit gear not because of the dex with clubs. If you have to put half of your stat points into dex just to see a fraction more of crits it's simply ludicrous.
I have many suppositions about this game just like you but I like a part of the mystery too. Since there is no new content any time soon it's fun to explore in depth what each stat does from the existing content. I didn't test it as extensively as you but when I put on dual stat charms with clubs I noticed crits every once in a while which was kind of cool. There is no point of mentioning something when everyone on the forums ONLY wants to disprove you and deny what you have to say. If I say that retribution is better than powerstrike I'll get a wall of text from Izparagonzi saying why it's not.

Average crit chance with 257 str, 46 dex, and +5 crit strike. I believe that 46 dex and 5 crit strike are reasonable amounts of crit stats... and I'd say 9.7% average crit chance is higher than 1 crit in 50 hits. Inb4 you already knew all this.
