Litany boosts Critical hit rating so it's more beneficial to use comps that prioritize critical, but there are comps that can prioritize DH which dragoon and some other jobs do not have the flexibility to participate in. But statically you trade an auto critical for its direct damage bonus actually lowering your critical rating because jobs like samurai can actually stack everything except critical and get away with it, same thing with other jobs that give direct damage bonus buffs, I think there should be a balance of what people prefer to use and optimal this expansion was suppose to balance all substats but didn't actually get anywhere close fixing the problem there is just more RNG then before.

Litany is +10% critical rating and has lots of RNG to get the maximum bonus out of it since it relies on everyone else Criting when it's cast while flat damage buffs are superior I've honestly wondered why they haven't removed dragonsight change litany to 20% and buff Lance charge to 20% or Keep litany 10% and buff charge to 30%
Just as with Warrior's Inner Release and MCH's Reassemble, removing auto-Crits from Dragoon only serves to increase their dependence on random chance in a skill that was crafted specifically to reduce that dependence. You may at present be an ultimatum between having skills that offer less RNG dependence and those same skills benefiting from all compositions, but it takes only the smallest of adjustments to fix it. It's like complaining that you can't get past someone in a narrowish hallway when you both refuse to so much as turn your bodies to fit past; a minute adjustment and the conflict is gone. So why not just make the adjustment rather than throwing our hands up in condemnation of anything that dares reduce RNG dependence via an auto-Crit or auto-DHit?
