That doesn't line up with the fact though that you can Crit as often with considerably lower then 512 Crit when you are leveling.

    Isn't this just because your base crit and %/Crit Rate is higher at lower levels?

    Like for any given level, with no gear equipped you are sitting @ 5% Crit Rate and each point of Crit would give you a higher % than it would at level 50. Similar to Skill/Spell Speed, you are always @ 2.5GCD and each point of that lowers your GCD more than it does at 50.

    So @ Lvl 60 cap - the 14 Crit may not be 1% anymore. It might be closer to 15.5 Crit Rate = 1%. Also our minimum Crit Rate will be higher (currently 341 @ 50), but our base % will probably still be 5%.
