Magic Critical Rate

[Nix80]

Is there any test about this stat? How much does it really affect your Critical Rating or at least a raw estimate?
I know Kaeko did some Critical Potency tests but haven't found anything about Critical Rate.

In short :
- It takes roughly +30 "crit rate" to increase your actual crit % by +1% on R45. This return may vary with dLVL, but would likely only decrease with increasing dLVL.
- There is a cap on Crit Rate % at 20%. We did not assess for a Crit Rate % floor.
- Crit Rate for R45 was roughly 11.2%. ~6% for an R55 mob

Thx for the quick replay.
So my new Warlock belt with +3 critical rate gives me a wooping +0,1% wow....lol

In other words:

From Patch 1.22a Hotfixes (May 23):

The algorithm for calculating the following parameters has been revised:

Critical Hit Rating / Critical Hit Attack Power / Magic Critical Hit Rating

* Players will find the impact of these parameters more pronounced when facing higher-level enemies.

I guess it's time for work again. Maybe not...

It's better but it's not worth it imo.

Well going from 30 to 6-7 points for 1% rate is about 4-5 times better than before.
Probably not worth it to trade INT or M.ATK for it but Warlock Belt looks more appetible now
