Spirit Vs. Strength...

[Hessah]

if you play a mage, you'll know the crit rate of a mage SUCKS

2-4% compare to 7-8% makes a huge difference..

Crit of cleric's not too bad i think, fighters are so-so...

but yeah, mage probably has a slower attack rate, I find that SPR in mage is pretty useless, works better in INT...




whether STR gives a backbone to crits.. that's.. a age long debate..

no, the crit rate depends only on weapon type (i.e. crossbow vs. bow, hammer vs. mace) and whether or not you have a green... check the smiths, we all have the same rate. im pretty sure, at least... unless i missed an update.

Green Mage Weapon has always had only 2-5% crit..

Green archer weapons have generally 6-8%



It has always been like that, no updates changed the crit rates of weapons...

It's because everyone says that STR from equips doesn't bypass defense unlike STR from free-stat. So it's pretty much nerfed/nullified.


Crit. rate has always depended on weapon type, and Archer's have always had the highest 'natural crit %. It's not like Mages can equip Crossbows xD

ah, that's because of the type of green. back when i hung out on the outspark forums, they had a thread about how the greens names acctually effect the effects... wind raises aim, thunder and some other stuff raises crit rate, and so on... mages have different green titles though, like sad moon, so they have different effects.

hm... i dont think our weapons have any more crit naturally... i could be wrong, but i think wands have the same % as xbows... o.o

i'll have to check... maybe you guys are right and im simply confuzled...

EDIT: bwah, you're right... crap, sorry, that was a screw up for me... but fighters have our crit, and clerics are rather close... only 1% away.

and that DOES show that we're seemingly made for crits... therefore, why not back it up with spirit?
