I wouldn't prioritize melee crit over anything unless the melee crit bonus is the best item you can have for that slot. So say you have an item that is +35 CA Damage and another that is +1 melee crit. I would go for the +35 CA damage item over the +1 melee crit. Same with Double Attack and anything else. Go with whatever is going to give you the best upgrade in damage. Each character is different so you'll have to adjust with what you have.

OK then in that case i gave you my priority in the second line. Take the +45 CA

that's my main concern. What is best damage between DA/CA/Crit ?

1 % Crit = 2 DA = 25 CA dmg ? should exist a way to compare items on a slot .

for example : i was looking at rings, got one with 2% melee crit, one with +4 piercing/slashing ,one with +1 attack speek +20 ca dmg...

damn with all those new bonuses , it's hard to decide

Not really, crit is still far superior.

The +2 melee crit ring. There are 2 rings that are easy to get, the Reet Eye Ring (Synod Reet Quest in Kunzar) and Nax's Ring of Precision (Rillis Quest in Fens). Both are +2 Melee Crit. The other 2 I think you should carry are the Imbued Agility and the Ring of Four Winds.

There's only 2 rings I think that are better than those 4: The Band of Thuuga (I would suggest the necklace) and the Ring of Dark Intent (VP). The Ring of Dark Intent is nice with 35 Haste, but if you have the Mistmoore Cloak. I would say +4 Melee Crit (from Cloak and alternate Ring) is better than the gained +5 Haste.

Gonzo, I thought nax's ring was +1 MC. I know I don't ever use it, and I think i would if it were +2

Catseyes, for the rings, take +2 MC ... no brainer, for the three theoretical stats you gave ( 1 % Crit = 2 DA = 25 CA dmg), I would go CA, DA, MC. But yeah, those are all pretty close in my opinion, so you'll have to look at your own parses and figure it out based on your playstyle. Maybe heck can post a formula for us.

Nax's is +2 MC and +3 slashing. Good ring, got STR, AGI, and INT on it also.

And correction on the Reet Eye Ring, you get it from the Wheelmaster questline not the Synod Reet.

Zeks

Nax's ring is +2crit and comes from Jinisk questline in Kunzar not Fens.

The itemization thing has me a little befuddled right now - as a general rule if something has a melee crit on it I'm going with that over DA - I have an earing w/ +2 melee crit versus one with +2 DA and I've been sticking with the crit one.

Someone said I should go with the Tymonium Band of STR for the STR and DPS proc over my ring with +2 melee crit and +25 CA damage...I haven't made the switch yet since I tend to prefer melee crit, but what do you all think? I'm about 41% melee crit ATM w/ it and depending on my raid group it can approach 46-48% crit at times.

Punch him. Someone telling an Assassin to drop crit and +CA for DPS mod, needs to lose some teeth over the matter.
