    Crit is still the king for warrior, it increases damage to higher degree than DET when you crit. It affects critical hits a lot more than DET here is the math

    Every 16 points you gain 0.1% on critical damage, where DET is 25 points per 0.1%

    From what I understand, in general it's Sks until you reach a certain threshold/comfort > Dhit > Det > Crit > More SkS > Ten.
    For WAR it's Det > Comfy SkS > Crit > Ten. This is because Dhit is greatly devalued on them due to getting automatic direct hits where the majority of their damage come froms, Dhit only increases direct hit chance and not damage.

    The info was taken from The Balance discord.
    I would never consider taking any SKS on any tank job except maybe GNB.
    PLD has a spell combo, which is not affected, a big part of DRK damage comes from other sources than weapon skills, and on War you sit under 2.4 sec GCD anyway and there is no point to meld it, i have no problem to pull out 5 FC in IR and i have no SKS melds.
