Magic crits are down from 1.5

SlaaMM · February 2015

Let me get this right.
1.5 crit is 40%
1.6 with 20 champ points put in it is 33.3%
This was done with my toon last week with the carry over accounts
Same toon VR13, Same weapons, Same skill points taken.
And this is suppose to be buff we were promised??!!
What part of GLASS CANNON do the devs not understand?
You got the GLASS part right, I can't last 2 minutes with more than 3 monsters on me. I feel that all the devs has done is nerf upon nerf upon nerf.
And let not forget that in 1.6 inferno staff the crit buff is taken away also.

There is a 12% crit bonus in the apprentice tree. So this is the buff we are looking for, since they have halfed the amount of crit, set pieces give you.

Though there is a thread, claiming that this 12% passive is not a flat +12%, but only a 12% increase of your crit value. Which would be 3% more crit, when having 30% crit chance.

I actually ended up with higher spell crit in 1.6 (~36% to ~52%, both with Inner Light on, no PvP buffs) after investing some champion points. None of my spell crit comes from sets, though.

If I recall correctly, it was about 15-20 points in Elfborn and 15-20 in Blessed (35 total). About +4% from Elfborn, and +12% from Spell Precision.

(I had 105 points, 35 in each tree, because of that glitch that added 70 from template characters. +35 from my own character's progression.)

I'm in a weird point on the 1.6 changes because my build wasn't hyper-optimized (it's pretty optimized, but not down to the finest details, y'know?) and I got buffed across the board. Everything I do is better. But I see the numbers from people with more advanced and higher-level builds than I have and it's clear something went wrong. I'm just not getting hit by it.

The Templar? The way I understand it 1.6 is a major templar buff.

It;s just going to take 100 or so Champion Points and you will feel like you are back to your old level. It's a pretty good system, it's just the implementation of it hurts a little, since's there's no good way to just take power/progression away from a player, throw it dozens (or more) hours down the road from that player and expect them to thank you for it.

Having talked to my guild leader he was saying the same thing, it's there you just have to grind it out. Geeze more grinding $:\$

I was pretty much saying this exact thing to someone last night.

I'm finding myself less and less excited by the prospects of 1.6, especially since it likely means I'll be spending more and more of my time grinding in PvE which I detest.

yes your crit right now is slightly lower but depending on where you spend your champion points you can have higher spell pen, higher crit damage, or a % increase to damage. These things didn't exsist before and very quickly will make you stronger Dps wise. Now other area's of your character will be much harder to improve compared to live with the HP nerf. Your damage should improve though.
