    Other then information people have already posted about this type of build discussion, there isnt really much to add.

    In a nutshell;


    Full strength builds have a constant high damage output, and rely on combo hard hits to take down high value targets rather then luck, in situations this sometimes cant be enough.

    Critical hit builds typically have about a 10% more chance to inflict double damage to targets at the cost of a slightly reduced consistent damage output. The damage increase is usually much more noticeable with your crit-zerking alot more often (which is instant-kill for anything light armour or arcane regardless of gear)


    The only thing i would add is full crit builds need abit more money and investment into gear to make it effective as 90% of your damage will be coming from your weapon damage.

    Ok, so a quick nooby question! Im currently trying for the crit build, so Is 69 str and 74 dex good, or should I try and fix It? b:beatup

    Theres no 'set in stone' build for critical hit builds, alot of people like different amounts of DEX in there build, my suggestion would be think of an endgame critical hit amount you would be happy with and aim for that (including armours ect)

    For example my goal was 33%, i chose 33% for a 1/3 chance to crit, 1/9 to zerk crit. This has me at 260 DEX including gears.

    i would like to ask why it has 10% more chance of dealing double damage When the remaining points to spend is 100 points. that means 5% additional chance only..
