How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Ossom]

Hey Dervy, or any one else. I have a quick question about Internal Release and wondering if you've done any testing with it.

It says it increase Crit Hit Rate by some %, It doesn't actually raise the stat "Critical Hit Rate" on the character screen, (the same way a skill like Innovation increase the control on the character screen) so I'm wondering if you know if it has any effect on the new Crit Hit Rate's Damage modifier or is it purely effecting our critical chance?

I know this is more of a Monk question but I figured it would be something Dragoon's might want to know too.

IR and Battle Littany do not increase the amount of Crit you have (ie 500 crit x BL 15% = 575), instead they only affect your chance to crit. So if you had a 10% chance to crit with your normal gear on and you pop BL, you now have a 25% chance to crit. Its done this way because of the 3.0 expansion change to actual crit dmg. Crit dmg is no longer just a flat 50% increase to dmg, it scales exponentially the more crit you have. So if you have a ton of crit your crit dmg may be 54% instead of 50%. If BL and IR increased the acutal amount of crit stat you had, it would be waaaaay to broken.
