Stop doubling down on Auto Crits and homogenizing jobs because of this

[Shurrikhan]

Ahh, another example of why I hate FFlog.

- My DPS is trash if I don't crit on my burst window.
- Why does class A have guanratee crit and not class B

yadayada. Face it, none of this would mean a damn without the existence of FFlog.

It means no more or less with or without FFlogs. Did you miss a hard enrage specifically because your one or two skills crit so rarely that they dealt less damage than a nerfed potency auto-crit? No? Then it didn't matter.

A parse's comparison to others of the same job will not even be affected by auto-crits; it just means that every other form of RNG (Shinten crits, for instance) takes up a larger part of the deviation between any two player's parses. If the difference between a 50th percentile and 75th percentile on a given day was 1k, it might then be 900, but your actions and luck will be just as heavy of factors as before.

Anti-synergy with raid-buffs aside, auto-crits are more an aesthetic element than anything else, trading bigger !/!! numbers for at least an ! every time.

Their relevance for actual performance is limited to where there'd be a vital damage threshold not otherwise met within such time as the given skill would not yet be reasonably likely to have crit naturally.
