The Artemis Bow.

I understand that SS is an important stat in it's own right but it needs a huge amount to actually make any noticeable difference, compared to Crit Chance where, say 26 would actually make a difference. Though I'm unfamiliar with the crit chance formula so I may be totally wrong.

Edit: I would also like to make clear I meant benching the regular iLvl80 Relic not the +1, sorry for the confusion. If both have similar stats and the CT bow has Crit Chance more people than not are going to choose the CT one.

26 crit rating is something like 1.8% chance to crit.

Have you actually seen that much crit make a difference? FWIW, crits in FF14 are also only +50% damage, not +100% damage.

Crits are good, but they're overrated. You even see Monks claiming that they should stack nothing but crit, even though they have 0 synergy with the stat unlike Bards with ROB.


Edit:

But back to the main discussion ... more power to you and good luck with asking for itemization adjustments. Not sure if it's worth it though -- the net DPS difference is pretty small even if they swap the SS for CRT.

Edit2:

Effort a lot better invested to get the elemental resist debuff song to apply to WB and Flaming Arrow.

The critical damage isn't the thing I'm worried about, it's how often my Bites proc Bloodletter. Also I was never asking for an item adjustment I just wondered what other people thought about the bow and IF it should be adjusted.
