To all high raid parsers.

Unbuffed what is your melee crit and what is your double attack.
I still have shit for gear right now, but scorched patterns are finally dropping for my raid force which only has 1 swashy and 1 warden in it, meaning we get shit thanks to smart loot.

Anyways, I think I am focusing way too much on my MC.

Unbuffed I have...
MC 67
DA 27

Last night I was in a raid with an illy/inq/berserker in the group and I was parsing about 5.5 average in VP. With my current gear thats higher than I had hoped for when I was stuck in that group. There were many reasons for it of course not the least of which was high DA than usual. I was sitting at 74 MC and 45 DA. If we had our third dirge I would have been a lot higher.

I am now leaning to a more equalized approach between the two stats. What say you all?

MC is GOD if you ask me, it effects both CA and AA but also remember that 33.333~ is the magic number for DA when DW..

iirc my MC is 67 when not attacking and my DA is about 53 with stones

Friend

DA > MC, if you have ~ similar numbers on those items off course.

MC > DA.

You should always have a balance of everything, though.
Just having a bunch of MC and no DA is not a very good idea.

You should try to get the most crit you can...the goal is over 100 crit including procs like Trak earring. That being said, if you have the option of 4-5 da versus 2 crit...I would go with da because even though da isn't as good as crit, 4-5 da is better than 2 crit.

Also, in zones like PR and SOH and most of the new TSO raid zones, you will want as much crit as you can rack up because hurricane procing autoattack on tons of mobs with crit is the win.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Appreciated. Now I just need better gear... eventually.

My swashbuckler has
73 crit solo
43 da solo
note that i have my trakanon earrings that gives me 25% more crit when procced and i also can swap my crit bp (woven shadow bp) for the reckless plunder bp for more DA.

I like my current set up because i can get over 100% crit with dirge and my double attack going up 10% then i pop 4% potion and 2% da temporary adornments on both weapons, i feel that after 65% crit its good to start gettingg DA.

Well with a dirge I get 81% crit...

When I get plunder boots and pants, it will go up to 89. Bare in mind this is with ONE crit adorn and a crit pot.

My DA in most raid groups I am in is 33, but I just got the plunder bracers which should put it up to 40.

I am kinda where I need to be tbh sans trak earring.

eh gear will come but some of the new tso gear from just doing instances is great, like the shoulders and helmet.
