High potency skills and/or auto-crit/auto-direct-crit

[CelestiCer]

Do you like these? Or don't like them? Do they cause too much variance? Does it feel too bad when Double Down doesn't crit but also every Midare auto-critting also feel bad? Does WAR Inner Release and Primal Rend auto-direct-crit feel bad? What about skills like MCH Reassemble, using it as a specific mechanic for your tools? Should Shoha 1 and 2 be combined to make room for Kaiten which can make Midaire auto-crit? Or just do bonus damage like before?

What's FFXIV's General Discussion's opinion about these right now?

The whole Samurai button Bloat solution has been repeated enough we already know the solutions and yes Kaiten back but I hate... vehemently despise Auto-Crit.

I understand why? because players want to feel like their performance isn't going up or down? and for some shiny number... but for parsers? it's always going to be a Slot-Machine anyways on trying to get a funny number they want since we can still DirectHit-Crit. I just want big number on my screen achieved sometimes through RNG not some stupid ACT, and have me reach that big number on my screen through more then just spamming my Shinten or a Hollow 2 minute meta. Very Simple...

I would be okey with Auto-Crit? if everyone is treated equally. So if I get the Auto-Crit treatment? " Everyone equally does as well ". And if not? Then " None of us equally get the treatment ", mhm

its because in early clears of things like savage ultimate, that variance can literally make or break you. someone who is unlucky and doesnt crit on their big damage hits in the fight can actually screw you over.
