Storm Sergeants Hooks VS. Lieutenant Hooks

[Jekyll]

Are you aware that both Crit Rating and Crit Potency were buffed recently?

Still fairly minimal. Not worth sacrificing those slots.

Yes, I've seen that.

Basically, if 6-7 +Crit Rate means roughly a +1% increase in crit rate against L52, that'd give you a 0.15% real DPS increase against enemies where your crit damage is at the floor (should include L52 if zero +Crit Attack Power, IIRC). If you have a lot of +Crit Attack Power (not sure why I always call this potency), this ratio will, of course, improve.

Is that better than, say, 6-7 Int, which only adds some unspecified amount to Auto-Attack damage? I honestly have no idea, but to me it doesn't seem as clear cut as you make it out to be.

Edit: The bolded part is actually wrong. Seconday stats were changed to also affect WS damage in 1.21.

AF hat is 25int at least. Explorer bandana is only useful for gathering class, no DoW should be wwearing it.

A full out Crit Rate build will only net you around a 2% DPS increase (the Crit Damage floor is 115%)
Having to replace STR and INT to do this doesn't make it worth while.

(Rough max Crit Rate for Bosses is 10%, so 10% of an extra 15% damage is 1.5%, rounded up, for close to 2%)

A STR + INT build is close to 20% over a stock setup on Monk

I have been wearing the storm sergeants Jackboots and they give Eva 30 which is Lol, but the set bonus is +10 INT. I'd say better then af
