DRK - SS vs Det ?

[Zorthos]

Well here is my thinking. Not saying anyone is right or wrong..it's all our own preferences. Why I say SS/DET/CRIT is because over a say 2.5min fight...on a training dummy since..it's for testing purposes. With my own crit roughly ~640 on avg does an overall 10% chance to crit. I then tested identical tier foods one with crit other with ss at the same max lvl. Crit was still 10% but with SS I gained ~120 dps. Why? With the new change to SS effecting DoT's was a massive boost...Salt the earth and scourge both increased by 20dps alone...that's 40 combined, on top of that you are able to use abilities at a faster rate consistently and hit slightly harder consistently. Pair this with blood weapon you then generate more mana because you can use your abilities at a higher rate. In short..for me at least what works for me..is that the sustain out weighs the current crit rate only for now since there is no way we can boost it considerably. I still had my 10% crit only this time the critical did more damage due to increase of ss (dots)/det.

I guarantee you skewed those results by performing better/messing up less in your test with the speed food. 120 dps increase from food? That's the kind of statement that makes you lose all credibility.

This i don't believe is true at all, sorry. There have been numerous confirms that Det does not affect AA anymore.

Also SS>det for warrior. SS is never a waste since we have unlimited TP. 500+ ftw

Running out of TP was never the only problem with skill speed. Pound for pound, it just doesn't boost your dps as much as equal amounts of crit or det do.
