We Really Need To Talk About The State And Path Of FFXIV

[KaivaC]

Yes, you have, since we have Crit and DH. But, both those stats use the same concept. There's no point in having two stats that work the same way. You could adjust their value to have just one stat called Crit. AFAIK, FFXIV is the only game to have two kinds of "Crits". Like I said in some other post, if one of those stats worked like the Dragon Quest crits, then it could be interesting depending on the foe you're facing.

The only concept that they share is that they produce higher than normal damage. But the materia for direct hits ONLY affects the rate of them. Crits affects BOTH the rate and amount of damage. Again, combining the two into one stat would require some reworks on jobs, because of how those two stats work.
