Default Robe Question

Currently I have the Robe of Dark Power and the Robe of Ancient Terror. I have been using the Dark Power robe...My question is this: If I get my spell crit to 100 without the dark power robe does the proc on the Ancient Terror robe actually make it better?

Thanks in Advance,
Oxnell

So you're trying to compare +125 constant vs. +20% boost/23% of the time. My guesstimate would be Ancient Terrors. I assume you mean 100% actual crit instead of stat crit.

They say you should be using that over the two listed by the OP.

Robe of Ancient Terrors has a constant 125 spell dmg too.

And yeah Arcane Robe of Hatred should own ancient terrors especially if you have the bonus making bolt of ice 22.5s recast.

Since base damage now increases the +SD cap (giving more headroom to the 20% SD proc), and since crits now multiply the SD rather than increase the cap further, the robe of ancient terrors is worth a lot more than it was pre-TSO.

Not sure exactly where it comes out for wizards though. Since you all cast fewer spells than warlocks, the proc would be up less often, but you seem to have more spells with higher +SD caps, so might still be worth more to you than to us. Not sure.

For me if the proc is up like 30% of the time it beats the hoshkar robe.

Actually I meant if my crit was at 100% statwise...at risk of sounding dumb does it make a difference unless you are fighting a mob like the first named in POAO that reduces crit? Does it change your guesstimate?

I do not have the Robe of Arcane Hatred as of yet but if I do get it one of these nights I will go ahead and equip that (I do have Master Bolt at 22.5 recast).

Thanks

I believe what they are saying is this. 100% crit stat means 100% against a level 80 mob. Most instances and raids are beyond level 80 so it becomes necessary to bump up to like 108% against an orange con. I think that's right.
