25 SPR? What for?

[MagesRequiem]

Okay, but how many people have all that stuff? And how many people can afford to buy great weapons with high added critical percentage? Not many. Hell, it cost me about 25.5s just to buy the Zombie King Zest Wand I have and its not that great. It has +13 to SPR with just a bit more M. Damage and the Aim isn't much higher than that of the Zest Staff.

So even with extra critical you gotta remember, the monsters i'm forced to grind off of aren't so easily hit and there's a good chance that what could've been a critical will miss. Well, USED to grind off of. As I deleted my WizMage to remake him. I'm making him pure INT and i'm loving it thus far. I'm hoping he'll be able to kill things faster than my previous Mage so he doesn't get hit often.

From my experience, around level 25-26 a pure INT mage really became hard for me because I died very very quick. Remade my made and did 25 spr(remember you get this by level 20), I have much more sp, crit at least 1-2 times each monster, and using aim scroll I don't miss much.

Well not when you're fighting mobs around your level. But when you fight those who are dark red you'll miss a lot even with a power scroll and a Staff. Or at least, thats what I noticed.

I have 25 SPR on my cleric.

Why? Because I want that extra SPR and crit.

But it only gives a little SPR and a little crit!

Well, I'm satisfied with what it gives.

I don't know if I actually crit significantly more, but I feel like I do crit quite a bit, although I don't know if that's just me thinking I crit more. I never go all technical and mathematical with these things. G___G" But yeah, I like it. I don't think I crit this much in closed beta when I had no SPR at all.

Like Enrei (I think) said, it's all personal preference. If that little extra bit of sp and crit doesn't satisfy you, then don't put it in. If it does, then by all means, go chuck your 25 points there. Whether you add it or not, both have their own ups and downs, so it's pretty even at the end.

Lemme ask you,as one of the persons who helped start if not create the idea of 25 spr.

What stats are better really?
Str/int? 25 points in damage increase is WORTHLESS in your character sheet. My lvl 40 warrrior had about 600-700 damage with a 2handed sword( IN THE CHARACTER SHEET). If had put 45 points into strength it would have increased to 650-750 which at most increases damage on mobs my level by 10-20 points. Hardly WORTH IT.
End- 125 points of Hp? thats chip away quickly 12 defense? WORTHLESS. It would help with shielders but only to an extent
Dex- Do i really need to explain this one?

5% crit rate helps ALOT especially in pvp where you'll be REQUIRED to spam skills like Britney spears on crack

Extra crit weapons are not hard to get...Especially in the higher tiers levels...

And mage i'm sorry man But i don't see Pure int getting you as far as you think later in the game...

[Zotius]

Well I like the extra 25 spr. 5% from that and 5% from my axe will give me a 10% crit rate. That is alot. The figures might not be big but trust me. You'll be critting a lot. And that's only from the stat and weapon. Lets say you get a thunder axe. 7% crit. Mob Annihilator 4%. Sign of Mara 1%. That totals up to a whooping 17% crit rate.

[MagesRequiem]

I don't know. I guess I was just annoyed at the fact that I kept dying all the time. I never got any help when I needed the most. The Clerics would always let me die which angers me and the Fighters were too stupid to grab aggro. But it doesn't matter because i'm playing on Teva for now and hopefully i'll get to party with you guys. I'll be leveling up my Cleric first though as they are much easier to level up than Mages. I probably will go 25 SPR then the rest INT for my Mage. For my Cleric i'm going 25 SPR then the rest into END.

Thats a much different issue you need to find good party mates. I usually ditch my party if the cleric is bad and none of my friends are in there.

If anything end could atleast give aoe groups a hand...

lol.

Current Weapon : 5% Crit
25 SPR : 5% Crit
Max'd Lic : 5% Crit
Earrings : 2%
Event Items : 5% Crit
Total : 22% Crit

This isnt including the Crit bonus you get from base stats, and SPR bonuses from equipment. Base SPR is the same as Equipment SPR, and although it doesnt raise as much crit as FreeStat SPR, it still adds to crit, although I currently havent calculated how much exactly.

Around 1/4th of the time I crit, and that -does- make a difference. In the end, 25 SPR isnt for everyone, its for well-thought out builds looking at the "Bigger" Picture.

The exact opposite is true, actually.
