Morganthefey Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 with all the new gear... I am seeing a huge chunk of Crit rating items, well over the last quotas.... has there been a stealth change to the crit ratio, and the devs thinks we should be stacking crit again? I have had a good look around the websites.. and cant see anything mentioned.... but I am curious if there is now some real intent to all these stats on our sets. so do we stick to the Hard cap from 2.0 level.... or is that now going up? I throw the bone out for ppl to chew on. Munch now:tran_evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindariel Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 They just took the lazy way again and simply copy-pasted the exact same horrible stat distribution from the last 3 tiers onto the new gear without any thought into it. And crit is still crap like before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bstr Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 The Combat Team stated they would be changing the gain from Crit Rating soon in one of the class question responses (I think it was the Sorcerer one.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalfenix Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 bioware's obsession with critical rating and alacrity es frightening, looks like they want to evade the power-surge mods-enhancements as long as they can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djoser Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Its it possible to get 100% crit multiplier and at least 30-50% alacrity? I have now with all buffs about 25% crit rate and 70% multiplier nad 4.5% alacrity... pathetic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morganthefey Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 The Combat Team stated they would be changing the gain from Crit Rating soon in one of the class question responses (I think it was the Sorcerer one.) this is exactly why I posted this thread... IF there is a future change planned in crit or it had happened already, it would make cence to put the gear out.. and tweak the calc later. if you have a link to that discussion I would appreciate it.

Morganthefey Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 OK. found this reference by a dev relating to CRIT rating Crit and other Qestions answered QUOTE:"The Critical Rating stat is currently adjusted to a level that grants a critical chance with which we are not completely satisfied, and this means that some specializations lacking a built-in auto-crit are at a disadvantage, while specializations like Madness and Corruption that gain utilities and advantages when they critically hit are at an even bigger disadvantage. We will be working to rectify this issue with the Critical Rating stat in the future, and that should alleviate some issues for Madness, Corruption, and many other specializations within the game. Courtney Woods | Community Production Specialist Follow us on Twitter @SWTOR | Like us on Facebook [Contact Us] [Rules of Conduct] [F.A.Q.]" I guess that does imply that all this extra crit rating on the gear will NOT be totally ridiculous with the current CRIT cap... and implies that there COULD be a change on the cards in the future... the fact is we have no timescale... so I think I am going to continue to swap out these big crit bits , and put them into storage for a future change by Bioware:) But saying that.. PLS update this post with ANY news you have of future or stealth changes to this rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alxmdsn Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 They have said it before.. You need to work towards perfect itemization. It wouldn't be much fun if they handed you perfectly itemized gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaForce Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 They have said it before.. You need to work towards perfect itemization. It wouldn't be much fun if they handed you perfectly itemized gear. I dont know what class you're playing, but I'm a Sage Healer. 85% of the mods have crit, which I use none of. This is too much work considering it takes a week just to get one piece of gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IInox Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 cause u don't know how to min/max and which items to buy. sorry...that's the fact I don't have any problems to min/max and obv they can't give us perfect items with the right stats. and obv u know 72/78 comm items have suboptimal enh?

Kvnticvs Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 The items you can buy with comms have totally different stat distribution to the tier pieces you get from running ops. The point of BW putting in all the comm gear with crit/alacrity is to force people to customise their mods to get the most of their stats. If everyone could just farm Ulti comms to get perfect 78 mod stats then there would be no point at all in running ops. There's plenty of threads on the forums explaining how to min/max your stats to get the most out of them and they're definitely worth the read.
