You should donate that charm to me so I can put it to proper use with my 55 chain

Ladder Slasher

Where the elite argue about how to get max dps that is 20000% more damage than you actually need to accomplish what you need to do.

Crit strike is strong once you already have the stats with it, so don't stack just crit strike, you need the stats before the modifiers really put it to work.

Which means the 35 charm that is posted is really good and with a strong weapon and armor, it produces high results. And it be even crazier on a class like HH.

Nick, could u plz stop advertising ur items outside the trading section? Everyone knows u are selling decent items for even more decent overprices... Gogo keep bumping ur trade topics instead.
Regarding the topics question: cole is right!

you use a 36 dex charm to mq with ? gz

on topic, i think its about 2.5 dex/cs
but i also think that cs/ap work better if you have lower ee weapons/stats for some reason (ie: hc)

armor pierce and critical strike do more damage based on the damage you already do, so in reality, they are stronger when the mods and damage of your weapon is already high as it will vastly increase even more damage.

With lower ee items and not as high stats, the damage increase really isn't going to be as high, but it could seem like it since monsters in the game have no life at all and over time attacking a monster with armor pierce such as an EP could work well but I'm not sure how that mechanic works that it stacks the armor reduction or if it is % based on the same armor every time, and the latter would sound the most logical, which would support cs/ap are not as strong with lower based EE weapons and stats.

If I had questions on Heavies, you'd have a valuable opinion since that's your thing.

I first listened to Cole on Crit strike (Carlos gave me the nudge to listen) around a year ago and then ran with it. My experiences & results I'm sharing here are very valid & I'm sure appreciated by some. By reading responses like SmokeyMcPot, it's obvious that not everyone really knows about Critstrike and yes this is a topic I know inside and out. Yeah, I'm that guy that made spreadsheets on the dmg, tested with glyphs & gearswaps, and studied the charts...



Lance knows what he's talking about.



I don't know you, but I wish I did when I played. Well done

But I guess we answer the OP question directly and tell them there is no ratio for CS and Dex because the game has changed where dex is a modifier for the added damage to your weapon.

but i think there must be a ratio or formula. This game is formula based and i think it could be tested. (Not it)

Just to 55 I used to climb Nothing but hybrids Back in the day No regen was the name of the game... It was funny Playing with people in catas On a Pally i was doing the most damage and Had the best heal V_V

Not really to be honest. Dex really has nothing to do with critical hits anymore directly. I mean if you tried really hard and took into account other factors, but if you did that, in reality you'd be creating a formula for critical hits themselves absent from the mod.

The main thing is that the game doesn't operate on the previous notion that dex affected critical strikes and strength affected damage. Now dex affects the added damage to the weapon. So kind of hard to really derive something out of that.
