it's as gratifying as getting a full set without Magic Finder!
as for the question of balance...
getting criticals half the time (or more) is an oxymoron.
arent they supposed to be kinda rare?
finally, IMO... minimum damage should be left alone.
lady black nailed it.
just some thoughts...
And speaking of which, and getting back to the topic, I think the 2 Legendary weapons are a good temptation away from the DotSP which is the big critical hit weapon of choice.
In fact, since I've left the Iqhan caves and am instead back at my old stomping grounds near BWM, I've switched back to the ElyR, which gets a nice boost from Cleave. And as you mentioned before ROL with speed potion has the same benefit.
I think another reason critical hits are so much more frequent in this version isn't just the More Criticals skill, its also the new equipment. In v0.6.8, the only item that increased critical chance was the RoLS which was very time consuming to get. Then in v0.6.9, we also saw the Ring of Strike and Ring of Vicious Strike. But now we have the Polished Ring of Backstabbing, Villain's Leather Armor, Troublemaker's gloves, and Necklace of Strike. If you equip all of those you get 26% cc, on top of whatever weapon you use. If that weapon is the DotSP (20% cc) you already have 46%, even without the More Criticals skill. Even assuming you don't switch out the Jewel of Fallhaven, you still have 41%, so almost half your hits are critical.
I'm not saying don't cap the More Criticals skill, but I think offering more weapons (not just L&E ones) that offer other valuable or even just fun elements (inflicting conditions) might get people to not just stick with a critical hit character.
exactly, all i need is a quick gear change to have access to incredible criticals
i haven't spent any skill points (this build) on criticals... and they are STILL brutal!
remember the "old" venomous dagger?
i daresay the DotSP might deserve to get nerfed (weakend for the sake of balance)
