build for haters and crit for haters

Ciotola

yes, I'm one of those ugly bad guys who plays one bar AH
haters please there are many sites with 3x in the name where you can vent your frustrations, you are of no use here, ty.

for everyone else who seriously wants to help me I have a build problem:

I currently play equipped like this:

slimecraw medium
Sergeant heavy legs - torso
storm master rest
oakensoul

all gold, all divine, infused rings/neck, sharp weapon

DK class, wood elf race (super RP)

my problem is the following: I only have 42.5% crit chance.
for the rest the build satisfies me, I do everything I want with excellent defenses, excellent pen, and ok damage for what I do (I'm on an average of 37-45k)
the low crit chance disappoints me a bit, but currently storm master / sergeant is the combo that I like most.

Do you have any tips for improving the AH 1bar build? ty

Necrotech_Master

you could try one of the other HA sets with an easier proc condition to storm master

earlier this year storm master was nerfed a bit (shorter duration, and only a 3 second window to "re-proc" it to maintain 100% uptime)

the other comment i have to make is why infused on jewelry? normally trait you go for is bloodthirsty (though i know weapon/spell dmg effect on light/heavy attacks is capped to a point, that is a significant amount of dmg your losing out on in regards to other skills you have on your bar)

another thing i notice is that you dont mention a mundus stone, or what trait your weapon is

generally speaking if you are around 40-60% crit chance, your in a pretty good range

Your setup won't get much better without thief mundus(you never specified),and maybe DW or bow could get maybe 10% more.Youd' d give up other stuff.DK HA build not really meant for crit,more pure power in PVP.Maybe goto UESP.net and use build editor to get idea on how to change things to get better crit.

HA builds are pretty much dead in pvp, and require way different sets, but i dont think the OP is using the sets in question for pvp

empower does not work in pvp against players, and nor does most if not all of the flat buff HA sets such as sergeant and storm master apply against players

its also not really feasible to use most other weapons for HA builds besides lightning staff because of the range and splash dmg on the final hit

Like I said if they want just more crit,bow or DW works to increase it,but would have to give up something else,and why sugggested build site to see.A different class would have been better.More info would probably be useful from OP like PVP, PVE, soloing dungeons,group content(non-trials),though probaly won't get more without gear change,and/or roll another char with diff class.Also swapping oakensoul for mora's whisper would boost it some.

Light Slimecraw, precise weapon, and switch Storm Master out for something else. It's unreliable in content.

I would use 5-1-1 and not 0-5-2 as your armor weights. That will give you more crit chance and penetration.

If you look at other HA sets, you will notice that whatever you do it is going to be a decision between HA bonus, crit chance, penetration and weapon damage.
You cannot have all.

After the Storm Master nerf, I switched to Noble Duelist on my Sorcerer and Order's Wrath on my Warden as the second set. I use 5-1-1 on both. In groups I will have around 50% crit chance on my sorcerer, or 57% with a precise Lightning Staff when the Tank is good.

thanks for the info, mundus thief and I'm full pve

I'm running a high elf oakensorc with seargants + storm master and I have 49.5% chance to crit. My problem is penetration, but that is only an issue when I'm playing solo, and even then, I do so much damage it still doesn't seem to matter much.

Here is what I would do to try to get your crit chance up:

1. switch to just 1 heavy piece of seargants - the rest use weapons and jewelry.
2. Use 1 light piece of slime craw which will give you some crit and pen from the light armor tree, plus extra crit from the 1 piece bonus.
3. If you are not using it already, I'd use the thief mundus.

I think that combo will give you the best chance of getting your crit at or around 50%

Two other things that haven't been mentioned are your CP level and where are your CP points? I'm assuming Master at Arms and Weapons Expert are slotted, and probably Deadly Aim. You could slot Fighting Finesse for your 4th for crit

If what you want is crit chance, Sergeant's + Order's Wrath (light armor) with a Precise staff and all-divines Thief stone can get you pretty high. My warden gets 57% crit chance with this combo.

Slimecraw light
Sergeant heavy torso, ring, necklace, and weapon
Infallible aether rest (not the best heavy attack set, but consistent, light, and gives crit).
Oakensoul
Thief mundus

Having one medium piece is not needed even with undaunted passives.
