Sweet! I have 150 crit rating!

You guys dont think that in 2 months players will have calculated all this stuff on there own and put it into the wikis? I don't think SE every gave much in-depth info on FFXI but poeple tested absolutely everything and had detailed info for every aspect of the game on the wikis. I like that you need to find out on your own....

For those of you pointing out "This was done in WoW" what you are really stating is, "This was added to wow much later in its development cycle". Until that happened, people performed tests over a very long period of time in order to determine these stats for themselves. You can do so too, and probably can figure it out well before SE will get around to adding it there for you.

Surely it would be much better if it was a % rather than stat? Is there a reason that couldn't be implemented?

This is something that needs to be added to the game. Players should not have to putz around with parsers outside of the game to figure it out.

I willing to bet that they can't give an exact crit % number because it is likely your Crit Rating is calculated vs. Enemy stats to determine what your Crit % is. So 150 crit on one enemy could be 10% crit rate and on another it could be 25%.'

I mean cmon, otherwise we would all just eventually be getting to 100% crit rate.

If by "find out on your own" you mean wait until somebody parses enough logs to tell you exactly how much each point gives and then posts it to a wiki, then SE could save everybody some time and just put in advanced tooltips. 99% of the people don't ever find anything out on their own. They're either told by somebody else or they look it up online.

This is also wrong. When WoW was first relased, everything gave percent increases. They had to do away with that system and went to a rating system in order to give people better scaling as expansions came out. When the rating system was released, it told you exactly how much that rating converted into a percent.

I agree, it would be nice to have a mouseover info window that listed exactly HOW each stat augments our damage/performance.
