Hi guys. I would like to ask you if you know if there is a cap on critical strike or critical chance.

But TR's who reach 48-50% are doing well. Any higher than that, I think is too much sacrifice of other important stats. I was at 49.5%, then got knocked down to 43.7% when Mod5 came out. I do not know where it went, but it has made no difference.
I could add more crit but I don't think the percentage would go up much, unless I added a LOT.
I am very happy with 43.x%. Everything is nice and orange.
(Responding to post below..) I play exec, I don't know about other paths.. but any exec without a vorpal and as little as 30% crit is either still in early development, or is just wasting his best assets, in my opinion. Not meant as insult to anyone, it is just an assessment! I do agree with the post though.. if you are going crit, then you must give crit what it wants.. which is to be severe.
There used to be an exec feet that gave you up to 5% additional crit chance.
Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.
The [Critical Teamwork] feat right? I miss that feat alot... if you had a full party of rogues your crit chance would go up by 20%.
There's a graph calculation on diminishing returns that I found here: https://www.desmos.com/calculator/3dqpvhuavj
According to the graph, crit chance begins to have DR somewhere around 2.4k and above I think
Personally I feel with a Perfect Vorpal, Crit is competitive with Power up to about 2.9k - 3k then Power wins in terms of return on investment. I prefer to stack my Crit around ~3k + [Weapon Mastery] T1 Hero Feat and I do pretty decent with damage in PvP and almost always 1st or 2nd ranking in DPS paingiver on PvE (my ArPen is already at 2k so that helps a lot too).
Personal preference; my opinion
PVE Based
Max should be around 3330k crit chance.
Any more is a waste in my opinion
IMO dex belt is by far the best belt out there for a TR if stats are right.
I run at 49% crit chance. Camp buff 50% and potion of Hero 51%
My stats are distributed very well I believe. Running Swash Set Bonus always up / DF
I have invested minimal into Deflect around 400 which is the beauty of the dex belt.
With DF my girl is an ultimate War Machine at 10.6k Power 1.8Rec. 2.45AP 32%DR 35%Deflect 26K HP Action Point Gain 30% w Passive / excluding Swash Buff
I will bring her well over 11k Power on 26th and more HP with additional 4%DR.
I may post a guide in near future if I have some time to show some different approaches

I'm going to disagree with you as the new Mod 5 pve TR is all about stacking power... therefore the Girdle of Strength (or even the sash of charisma) is your best bet. Deflection in pve is... well... not the greatest stat.
I'm not disagreeing with this but there are also other options.
Maintaining permastealth now is a lot easier but it's also a lot easier to drop out of stealth. Having a bit of recovery is useful for spamming attacks from stealth and also maintaining stealth without a lot of worries. I'm currently using the Imperial Dragon set and rocking about 2.4k-ish Recovery from just the artifact set, naturally high Int, and other Artifacts. Although I'm trying to find another Artifact with stats I want to get that down a little.
The Black Ice set is also a nice alternative.

PS - I quit.
So stating crit chance in % and more so without the crit severity and power is misleading and influenced by things like initial dexterity rolls.
Critical chance diminished returns begins from the first point (the second point you will put will give you less than the one before it) and so on.
There is no cap on both critical chance and critical severity, but at each point one should ask himself where should i put point into? power or crit chance?
Even with a relatively high crit severity (crit companions like epic blade and epic Eryness ) and p.vorpal for 2k crit one should have about 9k power (for exe before changes it was with critical overrun: ~2800 crit you will want 9k power).
And at 2300 crit points you will want to have 13k power.
This shows how power is much more beneficial than crit chance from gear score. Before latest changes you could, and should have got more crit chance by feats & dexterity, but it became even less relevant do to having 100% crit chance from invisibility.
So, imo, stack power and get as low crit as the gear will allow.
I thought it very specifically did not stack from multiple rogues in a party.

Hi there
You disagree with something that you made up by yourself?
I never said that I don't stack power. Every offense slot is power slotted and so is everything else; main att: power as always. You are welcome to hit me up in game and I am happy to show you. It's a nice balance.
I personally don't really see the benefit of a dex belt on a TR anymore, but to each their own.
