Spirit and Crit Rates

[Quark]

Way back when Tseric mentioned this was a possible change to spirit. Nothing came of it.

Edit: http://news.thottbot.com/index.php?authors...rch=spirit+crit

What if ...: ...spirit was given an attribute that worked as a counter to crit%? This would operate in a way that amassed spirit would serve to reduce the crit% of attacking foes, thereby reducing potential damage dealt and inversely affecting survivability. It might be something that takes effect solely in PvP.

Discuss.

Welcome to nerfville. Population: you and me if this gets implemented.

You folks need to calm down about this.

Caster boosts for critical percentages are nowhere near the efficient formula melees have. It takes far more points for a 1% spell critical chance to be gained through Intellect than it does for Rogues through Agility.

This additional Spirit effect would most likely operate the same way: a lot of Spirit would be required to make any noticeable impact. As any caster can tell you, most items with a high amount of Spirit are significantly lacking in other qualities.

Again, it's not nearly as bad as you're making it out to be. Take a deep breath, sit back, and wait to try it out in testing before giving feedback on it. I really don't think it's going to affect your DPS as much as you're making it out to do.
