The DD WAR: Crit build vs Stat/ATK Build - Which is better?

[Molly_Millions]

I've tried it, it doesn't work well on Ifrit etc. Cap your stats in addition to doing crit attack and crit rate though, and it should work very well. However for easier mobs, it's TONS of fun even without capping your stats. The difference between a crit attack and a regular attack (auto-attack) without capped VIT and STR against Ifrit is like 2 points of damage, which is obviously not worth it.

I'm working on getting a triple melded cobalt cuirass that will allow me to cap VIT and have some crit attack power. After that, I'm gonna go for some pants with at least 20 STR and some Savage Aim Materia assuming I can afford it, to top them off.

TBH, I think the only way to do a crit build right, is to get as much crit attack power as possible on your gear, so skipping out on crit attack on your chest piece shouln't even be considered if that's what you're after.
