Do you think stam should run acuity?

The math on paper is, 5 piece acuity gives crit chance roughly equal to (100-current)/4, and only need to single bar 5 piece, so mags with like 52% crit max run this is obv good, 12% is huge. Question is should stam run it, and why? Note this is only pve.

    If played well it's more DPS, Stamsorc, Stamplar and stamblade should all use it. Stam DK I did not notice any worthwhile DPS gain.

    Does ‘if played well’ imply a cut off? because on magsorc it is more dps even if not play well.

    In most cases yes. From my testing, Stamina Templar benefits more from Hundings Rage. Stamina Wardens have the same dps between Acuity and Hundings (if they run Green Lotus) this is due to 74.2% critical (lower for non Khajiit). For Stamina Nightblade, Acuity allows for maximum dps no matter what it's paired with (Tested Defiler, Unfathomable, Briarheart, Viper, Vicious Ophidian, War Machine) - War Machine being ideal for group utility, but Defiler is great for those just starting (Kevduit from YouTube agrees).

    I didn't notice any DPS difference with my Khajiit StamDK vs Hunding's, but I already have a ton of crit without it, so I probably don't benefit much from using it.

    I feel like acuity really shines in some fights more than others.

    Anything long and drawn out it's pretty average in, but for shorter phased fights it really performs well

    I play a character called "Gives Me Wood Elf" because I am a mature and sensible person.

    There is a cutoff
    I wouldn't run it as a Khajiit, or with dual daggers. Technically the cutoff is about 50% crit chance when other sets become better if the 5-piece is always active. However, Acuity is an excellent front-bar only set, which allows the secondary sets like War Machine or VO to be active while on back bar. For this reason, many builds make effective use of Acuity even at around 60% weapon crit.

    It's not a good pairing with Khajiit because it makes the Carnage passive useless 25%+ of the time, which is really the only reason to be a Khajiit.
