All about freestat SPR vs STR/INT

The easy thing to do is figure out the difference between a pure build either way. The more difficult and interesting math lies in figuring out the effects of a ratio of the two (and who knows, it might end up as a multiplicative problem where a 1:1 ratio is the best option).

One reason why i like the crit rate more than the int, is that people can increase there defense, but theres no way to increase your "crit resistance".

If that makes any sense =P

Anyway, thanks for the analysis. I enjoyed it.

Doesn't defense = 'crit. resistance' Sure you can't stop someone critting but defense takes the edge off both of them.

Has anyone tested whether a crit. disregards defense, or is it even possible to test that, what with flucuating damage values for identical skills? @__@

This is all cool... if nobody use skills...

If you start factoring the bonus dmg if a skill crits... Surely it'll impact on the results?

I asked about this a while back. I'd still like to know how damage is determined between the attacker's damage and the victim's defense.

I don't know any math behind this, but if you check out the officials Archer forum there's a thread with archers' builds and skill empowerments etc. on it.
One 8x archer has 31+% crit (w/ CS)
I can see that archer wiping out someone with pure crits. xD

Then again, criticals that double your damage when you don't have much damage to begin with are rather useless.. /shrug
