All the others are either cold or disease or poison.

It makes sense for havoc's fury to be cold, our snare is cold.
Because your CA's = "melee".

When a proc, CA, or whatever say "melee" it will use same melee skill as your primary weapon is (Mythical = Slashing).

I said procs that are considered spells use spell crit, then you say not all procs are considered spells. Well duh? Did you know that not all procs that are spells use INT for scaling purposes as well? CoB uses STR, but is a spell for example.

No i didn't and think that's a little counter intuitive.

Default Re: Crit %'s are a little whacked with brigand spells

You want a lot of spell crits is the answer.
on average proc / poison is 18-19% of my zw dps, and i was averaging 4-8% crit hits on my proc/ poisons.
so unfortunately for anyone not killing mobs that drop rainment, annihilators loop, or cloak of byzola, its kinda pointless getting spell crit gear as the potential loss's of melee crit will out weigh the gain of spell crit.

Saying that, there are at least 6 items that are scout gear and have spell crit on them, also look into the 2% spell crit adorns for your weapons +4% spell crit pots.

But its only worth doing that if you have the items i listed above to keep your melee crit near max.

No you don't want spell crits in terms of maximising your dps, re roll a Wizard if you do think so though!

easy to say when you get 50%? from Aa courtesy of Aeralik.
try raiding with no spell crit aa and see how much you lose from your zw dps.

there are plenty of scout items with damage procs for a change in rok, as well as applied procs, and ofc poisons.
hat proc
belt proc
ring proc
2 wpn procs
charm proc
Bp proc

Dirge : caco/tombs
Troub : potm/ aria's
any procs from casters
and procs from healers

its very very easy to reach saturation point with melee crit. and the bits with spell crit there are no equivalents with DA on them.
so its a win / win situation i dont think adding an extra 5-6% on your Zw dps is to be sniffed at.

ill give you an example i had 11,699 poison and proc hits in last v peak run, which was fresh zone, stopped after traverno.
of them 11,699 proc / poison hits i had a whopping 366 crit!
the total damage dealt by them 11,699 procs was 6,000,000 Damage
19% of my zw total dps.
so there is no reason what so ever to avoid spell crit gear once your at saturation point with melee crit. all it will do is add dps to your ZW.
