Why is SE so passionate about giving PLD's Critical Hit Rate on their gear?

[Mijin]

Only Rage of Halone debuff helps, which is always up regardless of your skill speed.

Because increased emnityx2 and restore MP don't help I guess.

Nothing in Second Coil require Stun.

Can stun adds all day and all night.

On average, you would get more threat with crit than skill speed, therefore hitting the "threat cap" faster

Nope.

What extra stuns are we talking about here again?

Derp.

In a perfect setting with people geared to the gills, who never make mistakes, then yes CRIT would be better arguably, but none of you are that good, so I'll stick with defense rather than offense, except in the case where offense is the better defense (DPS checks), and then I'll just go WAR if the DPS suck that much.

Here is an example of a BG pld, as you can see they are super concerned about CRIT. (lol)
