Okay thanks man I'm gonna run the thief
Depends on your setup.... as a Sorc if I want 50% crit without the thief then I have to sacrifice something thats not worth sacrificing EG Nirnhoned weapons. Generally most Sorc DPS builds will not be over 50% at the minute as they will be stacking spell power everywhere instead.
I've seen some very interesting maths done on this in other posts which show the absolute optimum setup...
The TL:DR version is this:
- If your crit is lower than 50% then use the thief to boost your crit.
- If your crit is above 50% then go with the shadow to increase your crit damage
The apprentice is no longer the best setup.... they didn't add enough spell damage to it. Conversely they buffed the hell out of the thief. It went up from 5% crit to 12%. If you then add in a full set of yellow gear with divines then this goes up to over 18% extra crit!!!!!!!
