If your auto is more % of your parse, doesn't that mean your just getting less shit off between it? sinice the melee crit is gonna effect your CA also? or are you saying it goes up in percent cause the DA gets you more hits per round?

If it's only 30% of your parse it can mean a couple things:
- You have low melee crit
- You have low double attack rate
- You're not timing your auto attacks (or not doing it properly)

You want to optimize your character where you're going to receive the highest return on your investment. For the current state of the game that place is your autoattack.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter on the % of autoattack.. I would rather have a 15k parse with 30% auto than a 6k parse with 60% auto; back when procs were king *sniffs* a parse which went higher than 10-12k barely had much autoattack in it procs and CAs / Spells making up most of the damage.

Saying that you should never completely neglect autoattack; in general I pwn our guild's SK on the parse; and a large portion of this reason is because in general my autoattack is sometimes doing twice as much as his in extDPS.

The main stats you shoudl be looking at on the parser for autoattack is:
median hit - what is the average hit with your sword.
Hit rate - bascially if your hit rate is 40% or so.. its pretty obvious why your autoatatck is so low :P
extDPS - in short... how much dps it is doing.. ignore the % part of it all.

The key thing is to make sure that you delay your autoattack as little as possible. I've found that % auto has more to deal with group setup and lag than anything else. When I lag alot, the autoattack bar will hang at full for several seconds before triggering...yet if I use abilities, that damage triggers immediately...and sometimes spamming an ability while the autoattack is hanging at full can trigger the auto afterwards.

If I'm in an illy/troub group without a mystic, I'm happy if I get 30%. It's different for a dirge/coercer/mystic group; you probably want to shoot for 40% there. This assumes no IA/BC, and the following stats unbuffed:
70% melee crit, 90% spell crit, 50 DA

this is the exactly right.
