I'll bet they forgot to add some dex ;)

Just got a 21% club crit rate across 800 club hits :thumbsup:

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.

Have you ever used clubs lol? 10% crit rate is really a lot too...

So you just don't tell anyone or...? I mean like... I had no idea until I did these tests how big of a deal the dex was for club/sword crit, just like I didn't know that str was important for increasing dex crit... What else do you know? Can you tell us, so I can stop wasting my time? :rolleyes:

These are the ones that interested me more:

128str 121dex 12cs - 21% (n=8) - Hypothesis: Stat ratio equivalent / 12 CS = 10% (based on next one down)
79str 90dex 6cs - 15% (n=2) - Hypothesis: 11 point difference / 6 CS = 5%(based on next one down)
79str 91dex 0cs - 10.5% (n=4) - Hypothesis: 12 point difference / 0 CS = 10% Critical Hit Chance
119str 125dex 1cs - 10.3% (n=3) - Hypothesis: Compare top CS / % Critical Hit chance. It seems compatible.

How to balance out more damage and keeping a range of 10% Critical Hit chance. Guessing this would also
be the same with Warhammers. The low end and high end damage of this weapon having 10% Crit Hit chance
makes it more appealing.

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.

I use only clubs. I crit maybe once every 200 hits. However, the damage is still substantial enough to solo with no problems from 1-71. I’m a bit slow at it because of real life gettin in the way....

:rofl: mao ... I love retribution, also, before latest update, I preferred TwoHitBack, but since nerf... back to retribution.

EDIT: The object of the testing is to find a common ground... keeping 10% Critical Hit chance while keeping good/great damage. Also, it is trying to ascertain the amount of critical hit chance applied when using +X Critical Strike.

Thanks for info.

I did one more crit test just for you.

Paladin - 257str 46dex 5cs 0ap 0ps

172 ee lvl 55 club

Total Damage (Min/Avg/Max)
0 (0/0/0)
Lvl 62 - 63: 7/100 7%
86845 (282/868/2758)
Lvl 63 - 64: 6/100 6%
177317 (178/887/2778)
Lvl 64 - 64: 12/100 12%
264851 (178/883/2778)
Lvl 64 - 65: 13/100 13%
355814 (178/890/2808)
Lvl 65 - 66: 8/100 8%
445254 (178/891/2808)
Lvl 66 - 66: 12/100 12%*
491221 (0/819/2808)

Average crit chance: 9.7% (n=6)

*Sneaky encountered at ~560 dmg actions.

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.
