    Thought this might be a good place to ask, but I'm curious what the relation is for DET.

    Currently testing on my MCN it takes 74 Det to increase my damage by 1%. Will this always be a linear increase? i.e. 74 = 1% (despite DEX/WD Changes?)

    I ask because I was looking at the relationship for all stats and both SPD and Crit have exponential gains, where as DET just starts out better.

    Crit is just plain ridiculous, and I estimate by a 25% increase over the base, the effectiveness of each point will double.

    SPD seems to be better than both Crit/DET out the gate, until you factor in not having an increase to AA damage, and the exponential gains are much lower than Crit.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    My curiosity about DET is due to the way Bard now works. Since in it's DPS stance it essentially does not have AA, and has a natively high Crit chance through Straight Shot.

    So if it scales well off both the exponential gaining stats then I could see it being quite the power house if you are able to stack them both high enough.
    (Crit seems to plateau with DET @ about a 5% increase at which point it just increasingly gets better)

    Another point I was considering is the straight shot buff, which is natively 10% X Base Multiplier of 1.45 = 4.5% damage increase.

    But....say @ a 25% increase in Crit (+~1056 Crit which doesn't seem that far off) you would have 10% X 1.7% = 7% damage increase.

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

    SPD example +25 = 0.01 2.49s VS 2.5s = 0.4% increase
    SPD example +25 again = 2.48s VS 2.49 = 0.4016% increase

    So on a class without AA, point for point SPD should start out higher than DET and further increase with each increase in reduction to the GCD.
