Default M/C & D/A

OK, my question is I am at 100% M/C with no buffs, stones or tactics pots and my D/A is 52% self buffed, do I keep trying to up my D/A and if so do you have any suggestions for gear to help balance my present set-up? I am using Lifespike for the D/A atm. Thanks in advance. (I also have the essence of mastery in my bags)

You could trade the disarming band for the upgraded WoE ring that drops off the water element named. You'd lose 3 melee crit, but gain some str and 4 double attack and ca damage is the same.

Don't forget you'll get at least 7 melee crit in a raid assuming you have a bard in your group so it doesn't have to be at 100 solo buffed. Make sure you use da pots/whetstones.

there's alot more DA in raids then crit, why would you want to loose melee crit? i have personally been at 110% crit before procs and still not hit for 100% crit on orange mobs.

i mean if you want to have a macro for DA then sure but i doubt it will increase your dmg. there is some nice DA items in RoK join some pick ups and try your luck or talk to your guild into doing some alt/plat raids.

52 self buffed DA is what I have and its fine, for raiding.

As long as you have a non-retard group then your DA will pretty much be capped if you have 52 solo.

Examples.

MT group - 52 solo - 15 dirge - 15 battle cry - 10 pot/stones + 8 ethernaught proc = 100 DA

Mage group - 52 solo - 10 illusionist - 25 IA - 10pots/stones + 8 ethernaught proc =
105 DA

Its really easy to cap out DA if you get the correct raid groups.

10 free DA from BUYABLE items

and another 8 procced DA that is from an item available to everyone, from the broker!

EDIT : forgot to add in the mage group thing that a troub gives 10 for 115 DA! (means you don't even have to rely on a proc!)

And what would that be please ?

Is it possible to get 100% melee crit without being able to clear all the TSO raid zones or avatars and without screwing up the rest of the stats ?

TSO wise we have killed up to "The cruel Guy" in IS, up to the snake in TOTMC, We have killed switchmaster. Got the tier 4 feet and bracers. Got most of WOE apart from shoulder, trousers and boots. Shoulders trousers and boots are my VP ones.
Best I have ever got it in MT group with potion and wetstone 96%

Yes its quite easy, I haven't cleared everything and mine is over 100 in a raid. Don't know what you mean about screwing up other stats .... there isn't one more important. Well maybe str is more important until you are soft capped. But if your str isn't at least 1100 right now (well past the soft cap) then you made some crazy gear choices.

Crit Mit is pretty important for the TSO zones heh....

In terms of RoK zones, if you were able to kill Trak, you could score his earring with a 25% melee crit proc and also Byzola in Shard of Hate has a Cloak with a 25 MC clicky (though it drains power).
