I think it's safe to assume SE has no idea how to work and handle gear and stats. Crit and SS is a mess where one is vastly superior and the other inferior. Hell SS mechanically is a mess if you look deeply into it. As for gear that's as much of a mess. A class like NIN is now equal to DRG in term of personal DPS in raid simply due to gear. While DRG has a low amount of crit NIN is now sitting at a value that SE themselves didn't even expect considering that the crit info for DoT is 8-bit limiting it to 25.5% (No real effect but shows that SE didn't intend for it to be that high), which is a limit NIN surpasses with gear and once other classes gets their relic also has a chance of passing.
