    Please show me how you get an additional 250 crit onto this build without sacrificing meaningful amounts of accuracy or skill speed through the magical use of slaying accessories to reduce that single instance of parry that I was forced to take on.
    Step 1) Build for casual play, adjust for raid play.
    Step 2) Don't build for damage. Again your numbers don't matter now that you're a full tank. SE has said this in live letters over and over. We aren't looking for DPS with a secondary stat utility build. If you want to DPS, go be a DPS. I'm mad about this, others are mad about this. Tank is your role, deal with it.

    Yeah, tanks don't do DPS. Why'd they even add Royal Authority? I guess so you can throttle your threat as OT in Shield Oath, since Sword Oath is also useless. A DPS increase? Please, I'd much rather take 20% less damage, thanks.

    Yeah, try getting past Hummelfaust with that pathetic amount of DPS of yours if you can. I would love to see how you can clear the gatekeeper with 400dps.

    Note: Talking about Midas Savage obviously.

    Where are you extrapolating these numbers from?

    Please go back and redo your build as if it were for someone who is not raiding, then let a raider adjust as necessary.

    The only thing that is getting old here is your swearing and childish behavior, please stop it.

    The thing is, I asked you to show me how you would achieve this, and you then told me to do it myself. I'm not going to try and do something that I believe to be wholly impossible. This set now has enough ACC for Midas normal along with enough SKS for the 9-gcd Berserk, and gets a net gain in weight compared to the previous build.

    Now will you show me how you intend to add 250 Crit to this build? Please? Or are you going to continue to pretend you're just /that/ much smarter than everyone and don't have to prove the ludicrous claims you're making?

    And sorry for assuming a discussion about min-maxing a class was related to Alexander Savage, because you have absolutely no reason to min-max to the tune of 2% crit rate in anything else. I'm mainly debating with you at this point because you're still clinging to some insane idea that the only stat that's worth a damn on tanks is Critical Hit Rate, for some reason.

    They're getting it from the fact that you're advocating sacrificing Attack Power for marginal gains in secondaries. x)

    You've failed to accomplish step 1. You went straight for the augmented and raid gear. You're being ignored because you're failing to read the directions.
