Is it better to sacrifice max stam and possibly other stats in order to boost Crit Chance?

ArchMikem · May 2019

When the changed khajiits crit chance over to crit damage done, my stamblades crit is now at a piddly 41.9% wearing Spriggans and Hulking. Im loving my 45k max stam, but i rarely crit anymore which means im not taking advantage of the new passive. Do i need to sacrifice Hulking for Toothrow now? I dont want to give up the Warrior mundus cause then my WD will drop under 3k unbuffed and that irks me something fierce.

I don't even know how to answer the thread...toothrow is an inferior set to most because you can get the 10% crit it gives from other sources (weapon damage/crit chance/stamina potions) but if you dont plan in chugging on expensive pots, it might be semi viable set, if you are talking about number wise (and you dont get the 10% from other sources) you will be ultimately trading ~320 weapon damage for 18% crit chance while swapping to toothrow (cause max stamina gives your abilities more damage), which should give you an edge. But you know, at the end of the day it is just a game, do whatever you want to

I forgot about my pots. So chugging one gives me another 10% but still 51.9% isnt enough when 60-70% is preferred for a crit dmg build.

If you are using potions, then toothrow is NOT the way to go. I mean, the sets that you use (min maxing) will not magically boost your dps sky high (unless we are talking about relequin, relequin is god in single target long fights, that almost dont exist beyond the dummy fights). Honestly, if you want to follow a build, do it. You dont need people in the forums telling you that it is better to do so. You have your meta min maxing builds everywhere, mundus stone is almost never warrior, crit chance is usually out preforming, you probably already heard all that. But then again, like my previous comment, at the end of the day it is just a game, do whatever you want to

I'd do Leviathan or Hunding's over Toothrow. No idea if this is a pve or pvp kitty. Tzovgin's could be very nice. Advancing ofc might be good depending...

If you mean PVP, then you need to fully build for crit to make it worth.
If you mean PVE AY+Relequen+Vma bow rules the day.
Honestly saying hulking doesn't work even on werewolf. Relequen gives huge boost to dps just from it's 5th set bonus, AY is better then Leviathan because bonus is applied on both bars that way. If you don't have vma bow on this toon, then leviathan will be almost the same as AY imo.. but i don't know what's harder to farm - 2 leviathan daggers or 2 AY daggers, since latter you can ask/buy from trial group.
