Critical Rate for LA

Posts: 563 Arc User
edited March 2009 in Cleric
Couple of questions as data is lacking.

1) About how often does LA build actually crit?
2) What is your normal damage ( use say Cyclone )
3) About what is your crit damage?

Thanks!

    i'm using level 90 as an example because that's when you start to matter.

    1) at 90, you'll have 94 dex. 1% crit = 20 dex, so you'll have a 5% critical hit rate. not very often.

    2) the light armor build is sacraficing over 2,000 damage at level 90 for a 1-5% more physical defense reduction and 10-20% magic defense reduction lost. pure would hit 3,500~ on average, light would be rolling 2,000~(on heavy).

    3) critical damage is 2x what the original damage would have been. assuming you hit 1,500 on average, your crit would be 3,000.

    1) My crit is 4% (without any items) and only a few seconds ago i did in two duels 3 crits. In pve i do like 2 crits per 3 mobs (when a mob needs about 4 hits to die). So it seems that even though it sounds so little that 4% is quite a big deal. I'm only lvl56 too. Of course there are times that i forget how a crit is. but the majority of my grinding includes plenty of them.
    2) I don't really think that my attack at that lvl would be of any use to you but it's 1500 - 1700 and 1900 - 2300 with lvl9 spirit's gift
    3) Crit dmg is double normal dmg

    Forp, at lvl 70 i changed to light armour cleric.

    I had
    - 3 star arcane gear and hh70 wand.
    - about 80 points in vit, min str and rest magic

    Now as LA cleric
    - 3 star LA gear, except for boots (which are still arcane) and hh70 wand

    In dmg i lost ~200 when fully buffed but gained 4% crit rate (but as mikel said it seems that crits come alot more often) Buffed my dmg is ~3850 (min max are close cause of wand)

    Fully buffed My mag def went from ~71% average down to ~67% and phys def increased from ~42% to 56%

    I lost ~150hp (my eqs now have hp stones instead of phys def stones)

    So contrary to wat ppl say, u gain alot more phys def *percentage* than you lose mag def *percentage*. I know I will have less dmg than full mag clerics but its great when in a duel you can count on probably at least 1 crit per about 5-6 hits. As an LA cleric I confidently pk/duel players around my level and have about a 70% chance against players ~5 lvls higher. Im not saying full mag can't as I have limited experience pking with a full mag arcane cleric.

    Well that went on further than I thought it would. Thoughts opinions?

    personally full mag is best i have 30 points into vit soon to restat to 5, LA clerics arent that great to be honest.

    i have 6% crit (no dex) i love my 2% crit magic rings :)

    i crit roughly every 4 - 6 hits and in pvp i can 1-3 shot any class (except barb) there about 4-5 w/o crits

    personally LA is a matter of choice but with your gear + u really have no reason for LA

    for further help just pm me in forums or mail me in game

    Ok...so some data.

    I suppose for my purposes it would take someone taking a thousand shots at a known mob, noting the damage and crit rate, and then restating to LA then doing the same.

    It's too bad there isn't a test server that you can copy your character over too.

    If crits are so important to you then you certainly won't regret restating to LA build, it's more than pleasing.
