Sometimes crit feel nice

Honestly, we have so little stats right now that every class benefits from crit. Tanks use crit, DH and determination. No tenacity and other stat which are pointless. This game is already at the collapse of everything being the same. So devs would need to add more stats to the game and remove 2 minute cd meta.

The game needs to be less static and RNG is a path towards that, but where and how its used makes a difference. Personally, I want RNG on the enemy side more than the player side. I prefer having control over a consistent character and making choices based on the situation that I find myself in rather than relying on dice rolls that determine what actions I can take.

Crit is RNG, but what does it add? An instance where you were lucky enough to achieve a high crit rate on damage doesn't stand out any more than one where your crit rate was low or zero. The former might be a little faster, unless the rest of your party was unlucky and negated your crits, or you lost some uptime, but you probably wouldn't know without fflogs. Healing crits feel more significant because healing isn't a 100% uptime activity and big increases in output aren't spread over a 15 minute encounter. They're still not the most exciting thing though and they don't change how you approach healing anyway because you can't assume you're going to get a crit when you start healing. I'd rather have big heals come from proper use of interesting abilities.

I see big crits every time I log on.

Or they can fix the stats that we already have and give us a reason to actually use them.

I vaguely remember tanks having a Parry stat on gear during HW and it it got remove in SB.

Parry as a stat was basically always useless, even back in ARR and HW where the bosses were more random.
In a game where incoming damage is both lethal and on a set timeline you do not want to rely on random chance to take less damage.

And as with crit you could never get enough of those RNG stats to make them somewhat reliably proc on the exact hit you need them to.
I wouldn't want to put my survival for this 300k tank buster into the hands of a 25% chance.
