It was just brought up that the base crit adjusts each level up but remains in that 1 - > 5% range. I would be curious to see if the value of a single point of crit outside of the base crit adjusts per level. EX: Crit coming from gear. If that was true, then it would explain the discrepancy I noticed.
    I've been letting a brand new level 1 character whack away on a level 1 training dummy for the last 40 minutes. Currently sitting at a 5% crit rate at around 1500 hits.

    I might buy some food for it and see how much % I get over the 30 mins of food.

    Edited: well with the Dodo Omlette I got 4 Crit. Over 484 Hits I ended up at 6% Crit. I guess the game crashed so it didn't get a great amount of hits as I would have liked, but 4 Points of Crit getting anywhere near an extra 1% might indicate that a point of crit is stronger at lower levels, than at higher levels.

    Also I can't remember how to get the reading past 1 decimal point, because those are rounded up values.

    So after beating on a dummy for an hr, both at level 1 and level 50, yes you are correct it's seemingly locked at 5% across the board.

    I can imagine it is that way so that the secondary stats aren't completely useless at low levels, and so there isn't a huge power creep with the secondary stats later on.

    @ 14 Crit/1% @ level 50 - Estimating the gear stats at Level 60 ilvl 220, I estimate you would see a 70% increase in secondary stats from what we have now. So if you had +279 Crit now @ 20% Crit Chance - you would have a staggering 34% Crit Chance @ i220 (+474 Crit)

    If the Ratio changes to even 16 Crit/1% (@lvl60) that brings it down to 29%.

    It also makes me wonder if Player Level is a variable in the damage algorithm.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I guess with the crit value that you currently use, it's just at a sweet spot where you hit enough crits with your big bang spells (fester, Enkindle etc) that overall you just do better. Either that, or it's a nice balance with SMN's actions per second.
