AST Stat Weights

[YuiSasaki]

I agree with most ppl that SpellSpeed is not worth it as a heal, neither its cast-time-reduction nor havnt I seen anything in detail concerning how it affects HoTs/DoTs (yes it does, but to what extend is not (yet) known to me :X).

I read somewhere on reddit (forgot to bookmark the thread) that DTR scales quite bad at the moment. So I'll stick with crit.
However this is somewhat of an preference issue, overall I'd say:

Crit>=DTR>>>PIE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SpellSpeed

Not only determination, everything's scaling pretty poorly with current gear. At least till we're getting saturated with secondary stats through inflated ilevel gear - Like ten levels back before 3.0.

I've done a relatively small scale testing concerning crit on scholar:
716 crit
341 auto attacks and 41 of them being a critical hit (12% rate)
Got bored after 17 minutes of watching my character book smack a dummy

Back at level 50, having that much crit would have been around 26%, if not more.

Found some interesting stuff on reddit concerning crit calculation:

I somewhat doubt it to be accurate but according to the calculation you would have a crit chance of approx. 13,3857233%, which comes close to your auto-hit test (which is in-fact small-scaled).
Maybe I'll do some testing with my AST.

On a side note, considering that crit scales in a linear fashion (at least it appeared that way in 2.0+ -> see valk dancing mad (which is by now outdated, but well I honestly don't think that they changed crit behaviour with 3.0)), it is rather obvious that they'd downgrade crit rating - crit chance "transcription"(or rather applying said behaviour for every secondary stat). Otherwise secondary stats would be overpowered as fuck (as you mentioned you'd have 26%+ crit chance with gear from the "start" of an expansion).
