Is spear still worth less than arrow now that it's crit?

SE is very coy with their math for crit so I have no idea even whether those 10% crit rate increase is just a flat bonus - i.e 20% natural crit rate + 10% buff = 30%, which would be nice but still ultimately RNG. Or, what I suspect more, a percentage bonus based on the existing crit rate - i.e. 20% natural crit rate + 2% buff, which would be worthless for characters not building crit and a pittance for those who do.

Regardless, it's a small *chance* for more damage.

A single target Arrow is a flat 10% skill/spell/auto speed reduction. It's reliable. How many additional actions that's worth depends on who you buff, but it's still always a net dps increase.
