The Monk Temple

Crit is a chronic offender because plebs love to see big numbers and categorically ignore the fact that if they already have a ton of it, they should invest elsewhere.

In what current set can anyone actually get "a ton of it"? I'd really like to see this theoretical set of gear from the future.

And I showed my work. Your theory is fine. I integrated it above before you even posted it. The theory, however, does not have a significant impact on the way the class functions given the current level of gear. If we're all in ilvl 120 equipment and we're rolling with 40+% crit, then yes, your theory might actually make Skillspeed not a terrible stat. But as it stands, in no way, fight, gear setup, or non-terrible rotation does Skillspeed come even close to Crit in terms of its usefulness.

Your "work" is asinine because you don't understand how to assess the value of marginal stat gains. Your entire "work" section doesn't even answer the question and uses an incorrect stat comparison and baseline since you have a half-assed understanding of what you're talking about. A little bit of knowledge is more dangerous and more prone to error than pure ignorance.

Your theory is fine.

I don't have a theory. I have cyclical model that simulates a hard rotation and models damage modifiers and statistical crit rates. The results are as they are.

But you don't even need to go that far. You need to simply have a coherent understanding of how to measure the +10 crit on a piece of gear under consideration.

in no way, fight, gear setup, or non-terrible rotation does Skillspeed come even close to Crit in terms of its usefulness.

If you use Bootshine at maximum potential, don't macro on-GCD abilities, and press buttonz properly, you will get relatively similar returns from CRT as SS. Any less efficiency with Bootshine and CRT pulls ahead. The TP consideration, in addition, results in a situation where players should lean towards CRT in all situations where the two are offered equally.
