Bards and BL and Crit and RoB

[pandabearcat]

I fixed it...also I uploaded some graphs.

Whats really interesting though is the rate of increase.

As you increase crit, each crit is valued less and less for RoB proc increases, however...they are valued more and more for total BL increases.

I have NO idea why this is the case, but suffice to say it seems the more crit you have, the more you want crit.

Go go crazy Bards.

Perhaps in terms of #BLs, but that's a bit of a sweeping statement ^_^.

Crit still has decay per point, although it decays much more slowly than for other stats / classes.


Sidenote: that result for +BL/crit is still weird.

Ok...So now that we have this information.. I would like us to know how much is this actually worth it.. Because I'm sure we all know that, in order to get Critical Rate, other statistics must be sacrificed. If determination and dexterity are sacrificed then we may be using more bloodletters but every single ability will deal a little less damage.

What we need to find is that harmonious balance of sacrificing other stats for critical, but making sure that the end result is higher damage, because afterall that is what we want; to make the job for the tank harder

Edit: I suppose the higher crit on other abilities other than dots would offset this sacrifice and most likely will produce higher damage; just wanted to throw it out there for consideration.

what i want to know ( I am sorry if it is a stupid question), is does IR stay with DOT's or come off when IR goes down?

When you use a DOT ability, it takes a snapshot of your current buffs and adds them to the entire duration of the DOT. So if you use VB or WB with 4 seconds left on Internal Release and 7 on Raging Strikes, the DOT will stay buffed with IR and RS for the entire 18 (?) seconds even though the buffs drop off soon after you've used the attack.

Well, that seems to be the theory anyway.
