Crit Gear: Is it worth it now?

[Silvano]

Based on most recent testing (1.21a I think?) it is 350STR, 310PIE Link

Edit: There is an ongoing discussion on what DPS' effect is. Preliminary testing shows that DPS influences WS while Base Damage influences Auto-Attack (kinda backwards, but w/e).

It's actually not backwards at all. Base damage "influences" auto-attack hits because it's literally the stat that determines how hard you smack things. DPS is used for WS calculation only because it balances weapon speeds.

Your WS frequency over time is completely independent of your weapon delay, so the slow but powerful weapons would always have a huge edge if WS also used the damage stat in their damage calculations. This is why much of the community thought the high DPS but fast Garuda weapons would suck when they were revealed.
