Lack of Crit on SCH weapons lately

Anyone else getting the feeling that SE doesn't understand how the job works...or is choosing to handicap it? Ask any SCH what stat they want on a weapon and they will say Crit as we have the most synergy with it. More crit equals better defensive shields and better overall dps. Thing is...we have not had a Crit substat on an endgame weapon since Ravana EX.

It's really frustrating watching every other job get Crit options on weapons when our only build option stat wise is Det/piety or SpellSd/piety. If the new relic doesn't have Crit or let the player choose the stats, it's going to be a sad and salty wait until the glimmer of hope that is 3.2. :(

The weapons were used as kind of a balance bandaid, in addition to helping groups that were stuck, I think.
Ex. Pally with a good wep, Drk with parry, Bis for most DPS.
Well except for WAR getting an even better weapon I guess.

As I told my friends, why is this a surprise? Every time the books came out, Crit was ALWAYS on the Raid tier weapons.

Crit for SCH isn't available for Raid Tier SCH Books (i210 Eso/i210 AlexS) and crit tops aren't an Option for SCH either. :c Hoping Void Ark/Diadem changes that. Please SE. Please.

If I had a sense of humor I would say this was a critical issue.

i like you

If we get to pick our stats for relic, I might crit my pants.

Well it seems like the CRIT-astrophe may have been avoided with the Void Ark gear for you.

I'll scurry away now, just figured I'd add another pun for good measure.

The rage inside is so damn real right now. Everyone except WHM/SCH got CRIT ON THEIR DAMN WEAPON (WHM GOT THE STAT THEY WANT, SPELL SPEED DAMNIT D:<<<). VOID ARK TOPS DON'T HAVE CRIT EITHER. WHY DO YOU HATE SCH'S SO MUCH YOSHI. GAHHHH 3.1 I HATE YOUUUU

Pretty much this. Always keep in mind that gear's stats are an alternative way for devs to fine tune the relative power of every job with respect to other jobs. SCH already is very desirable for savage...giving more crit would probably make it too powerful.
