Spirit and Crit Rates

[Concillian]

So does that mean that if you had a 100% crit rate, that you'd hit every time? Or does it check for misses first and then crits? Kind of wierd either way. It makes +crit% more valuable than it should be.

Uhh, I don't know. If you find a way to get 100% crit rate, let me know and I'll test it for you =).

If you want to verify this assumption, all you need to do is remove the off-hand weapon. The miss rate should drop to 0% without the DW penalty and the numbers between the character screen and damagemeters should get much closer.

Supposedly glancing blows can push hits off the table without enough +weapon skill as noted by the people doing that kind of research. So crit cannot push glancing blows off the table, the opposite happens... If you dual wield and have, say 30% crit and no +hit or +weapon skill, you will only get ~18% crit 0% hits and remainder glancing blows.

There's a reference thread on this in the Warrior forum, but the WoW forums are down (again?... still?), so I can't link to it.
