Theory crafting: mapping crit rating to crit %. My results.

[Noctrin]

Well, 341 is the minimum rating you can have at level 50. So i can not sample any lower. 500 is the maximum i am able to achieve and is also about the amount the geared bards in my guild have. So i'm stuck with that range. Once i get more allagan and myth, i can probably reach 550 and will see how that works. Reaching even 500 requires some seriously good gear, at least for a healer.

A sample of 1000 is indeed low, i would need 10,000 to be happy. DoctorMog, i looked at your results and for the most part, they fit into the curve within the error bound, the out-lier being the one you pointed out yourself. I chose not to include the data in the calculation as there might be a difference between healing and attacks.

Based on other tests i've seen, I don't have any GOOD evidence that suggests crit is calculated differently for attacks. As far as crit rate vs lower/higher levels. I don't have a good way of testing as of yet.

If anyone has a crit rating of over 500 and would like to provide some data, it would be most welcome. Even with 1000 attempts, given enough samples, i think it would become accurate. Which is why i posted on the forums!


I plan on running parsers for my next coil runs and keep my crit rating steady. No skills affect heal crit rating, so i can use that data from myself and the other healer to add more points. If anyone else could do the same, i think this could be made a lot more accurate.
