Critical chance stat useless?

Sorcrater

I've been building into spell crit for PvP lately but am having second thoughts about its usefulness. First of all, the impenetrable trait is becoming more prevelant. I'm worried that if an enemy's crit resist is too high, my attacks that do end up critting will do less damage that a regular attack.
Another issue is the resource cost. Not only am I sacrificing a mundus stone effect by using the thief, I also use inner light using up an ability on my bar. What do you guys think? Should I abandon crit?

If you have less than 70% crit then don't bother in pvp. Impenetrable simply renders the entire crit mechanic irrelevant unless you have utterly insane crit chances.

Just go for maximum weapon or spell damage. Forget ze crit

Crit is useless in pvp. Impen is a straight subtraction from your crit %... Meaning if they have 7 pieces legendary impen, and you have 65% crit, you will never crit.

Main reason sorcs are garbage... So underpowered and under balanced. Streak nerf took away only viable skill, and self-heals are eliminated because crit nerf from impen makes crit surge useless. Every other class has a self heal... Sorc's self heal doesn't work in pvp.

Don't know about sorcs but NBs self-heals are trashy compared to Templar or even DK
