DRK - SS vs Det ?

[Phoenicia]

No. No no. This is just a fallacy and the wrong way of thinking. You have to average stuff out over time. Yes, Det increases every hit and Crit might only increase 10% of your hits, but if the Det you have only increases every hit by 1% then the crit will be better.

You cannot say "det/sks is better because crit is only a chance". You have to have exact figures. 10% crit chance at +50% bonus is a 5% increase in damage, period (I'm not sure on what the actual crit damage of this would be, just for the sake of example). If the same amount of Det were to increase your damage by less than 5%, the crit would be the better choice.

Crit now increases chance AND damage by the same percentage. SO if you have enough to increase chance by 10%, your crit damage also increased by 10%. Base chance is 4.95% and base crit damage is 145%.

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

I'm sorry, I find it hard to believe that food alone increased your DPS by as much as 120. Food doesn't provide 10% of our total stats increase as much as it would increase your DPS by over 15%. At most I would think food is 3~5% increase.

Also, DRK has severe TP issues, adding skill speed will only mean you won't even parse for 2m45s. You will probably floor at 2 minutes flat.
