+ Crit Melee/ranged > + STR/AGI?

sharpj74 · 06-05-2009, 02:11 PM

Trying to weigh the benefits of +crit melee/ranged items against higher AGI/STR. For instance would it be wiser to wear an earring or belt that say gave +10 AGI +10 STR & +1 Crit Melee or Ranged or to keep the higher AGI & STR that my current accessories have? I'm wearing rings with +20 in AGI which I could swap for the crit bonus, but my other jewelry is all +34agi & +34STR. Thanx in advance

First of all, who cares about ranged crit ;)
Second, who cares about agi

So go for Melee crit, I don't know your Adventure lvl, but in a normal group setup you should get plenty of Str, try to get ~ 800 solo.

But melee crit >>> all

Get MC, Ca dmg an DA, Mainstats should't bother you.

Agi and ranged crit are worthless. Take str until you,re past soft cap then melee crit and da. At 80 get 900 str. But with shard armor you,ll be over 1k easy. So mc is king.

speaking of DA it seems mine is sucking dick below what i want, 4 set pieces tso, decent jewelry,tso sig in offhand and still struggling to get past 50% self buffed.. what are most of ya'll at or around?

I sit at 35 DA self buffed. Running in my normal raid group I hit 90+ before ethernaut ear or flesh-peeled leggings proc their DA. Not to mention rager slipstones. So below 50 is just fine, really. Especially if your raid group stacks up the DA. Not suffering in the crit department either, cap both out 95% of the time in raids from temp procs.

To the OP: For a new to 80 assassin, Melee Crit > All. Focus on crit, and the STR will come in its own time. I'm gonna assume that since your asking about ranged crit, that you use your bow? Don't. Not unless you're soloing or jousting. As for gear, work your way to t2 shard, pick up whatever jewelry you can. There's some nice stuff with crit, just pick up all the quests for the instances, and check what you get when you finish them.
