What is the difference of crit strike and crit flux and which is better?

Crit strike gives you a chance to do a crit on an enemy
Crit flux gives you a chance to negate a crit on you from an enemy



Crit strike is much more sought after, for obvious reasons hope that helped

i disagree .. unless it was changed crit flux is chance to ignore enemy crit protection ( previus dex, dunno what it is now ) crit strike is better chance to do a critical strike ( but not raise the dmg of the crit ), where as flux can raise the critical dmg WHEN a critical strike does occur

my mq dagger looks like this:

Mythical ultimanium dagger
Level Req: 55
Damage: 188 to 329

+117% Enhanced Effect
+3 Dexterity
+1 to 1 Life per Attack
+1 to 1 Mana per Kill
+12% Critical Flux

combined with charm:

Arcane focused heal VIII
Level Req: 25
Heals: 43 to 51
Mana Cost: 61

+27 Dexterity
+396 Max Life
+6% Experience Gained
+1 to 15 Mana per Attack
+4% Critical Flux
+3% Quick Draw

gives nice crits when they occur

I actually found it shortly after I posted, but wasn't able to edit my post and didn't want to double post. The first reply was correct. As found on the ladderslasher login page information on the left side. Thanks for the replies though.

You need to keep up with updates if you are going to give advice.

Crit Flux is now only a defensive mod. And Dexterity no longer even protects against crits and is simply a damage affecting mod.

Crit Flux reduces crits done to you.

Crit Strike increases chance to crit.

I would side with crit strike as the benefits would be seen more viable and able to apply them more efficiently.

However, Crit Flux is a welcomed mod for all types of items.

But I would choose Crit Strike over Crit Flux if you had to choose between 2 items of the same type and similar stats.
