+skill/spell speed (borderline abandoned concept)
+piety (lol)

Crit/DH just happen to be the best +damages
Makes me sad to see skill/spell speed be pretty much useless in favour of Critical hit, Honestly Critical/direct hit are such boring stats that don't have any effect on gameplay... actually I despise depending more of getting crits in burst.

Imagine if tenacity was a serious consideration ever... that would actually be interesting but because tanks are so survivable and DPS checks are so important it becomes a stat that has no purpose.

I really wish that stats felt more intresting... at the very least I much rather have speed builds be more viable rather then stacking critical hit, it's such a boring design.
