There is a collecteable Quest where you can get a Hat with a Proc (10 sek 300 more CA dmg . 1 time per minute). Sorry but i didnt found a like for the item.
makes this more dmg then 2% crit?

Well figure that +300 damage to your CA's for 10 sec's and you hit a CA each second you get about 3k (if you hit them faster you get more but lets keep it round for easy figures). SO ever 60 secs you get an extra 3k+ damage (average based on the 1 time per minute figure). Say you hit the mob 120 times in 60 secs (totally made it up for the sake of example). You would crit 2.4 times in a minute. If you crit on even one of your most basic CA's you have probably almost beat that 3k figure already. Obviously these are very rough figures that would be refined by a number of factors..IE: double attack/haste mods/ect ect.. does that help?

It's 150 CA damage now.

I think this is a slightly high assumption of hits per min. Most assassins use 2 4 sec delay weapons, which with 0 haste is 15 swings a min. if you assume we can get to 100 haste fairly easily that would be 30 roughly swings a min which brings you to 60 total swings a min (ignoring the additional delay for offhand dwing and the effects of the diminsihing returns)

For the item proc, depending on AA specs, we cast a CA about every .6 sec (.39 casting, .25 recovery) which would give you about 16 ca's per 10 sec x 150 damage which is roughly 2500 damage or 25 dps. Again this is assuming you don't have a warlock, temp, dirge or some other proc increasing class in your group.

With minimal testing i've figured that I get about 10dps per 1% crit so depending on buffs and other factors, I would give this item a slight edge, but your mileage may vary.

Edit: I should mention the 10dps from crits is including both CA and auto attack.

gota say those 3 peices of MC armor bumped my dps up a nice bit(did not have any modifier armor in those slots... no +crit/DA/haste or anything but plain stats)...

Is it just me or is the new master crafted pretty dang good? I mean every piece has +3 slash/pierce and + 45 CA damage. Why couldn't the set armor have stats more like this and then have its special effects.

Catseyes

i have hard time to decide if i skip the % crit given by the EoF legendary set , and some RoK items to go on +ca dmg else... As CA dmg is consistant and %crit random...

MC legs or +1% melee crit ones ?
3 set 2% crit or 3 xMC +Ca dmg and + piercing ?
MC gloves or +1% melee crit ones ?

mhhhh

Just an opinion...

225 CA and +15 slashing/piercing > 4% melee crit
