so i know with melee class chars dex allows for a sorta crit strike chance the more dex the higher the chance i think is what im getting, now do casters get this crit strike chance at all? maybe not with the dex stat ofc but at all? or is their damage just consistent with the charm/intel u have? just curious as im still learning

Actually, if you have higher intelligence than the mob you're fighting I believe that you have a chance to "amp" or do 1.5x the listed damage. But the amount will be pretty consistent for each mob, it just may vary from mob to mob. For example, with my earth at level 55+ I might to 800 - 1.1k damage to one monster, but then on the next I may only do 500 - 800 because the second mob has higher intelligence than the first.

But basically it still amounts to the same thing - that you should just always pump intelligence and only intelligence (except maybe 5 or 10 into vitality in the beginning) because that's by far the most useful stat to you ^_^

Hope that helps. Happy slashing!

Casters cannot get critical hits. However they usually do more damage then their melee counterparts.

As nev said, your damage from your charm is affected by the monsters intelligence. You can do anywhere from 50% to 150% of your shown damage, depending on how much more/less inteilligence the monster has than you.
