As a Destruction Staff/Healing Staff Sorcerer is there any point in Critical Strike

I have a deeper mana pool and use spells the majority of fights, when my mana gets low I burn through dark channel and keep casting. I use inner light for crits on my spells but critical strike only affects melee strikes, right? Also does theif or shadow stone affect spell crits or only weapon crits?

I guess you may be able to check by pressing "C" (default key) to check your current Spell Crit and Weapon Crit with and without the buffs on.

Oh is critical strike a sustain? I didn't know you could do that thanks. I have the shadow on right now but it affect crit damage not crit chance

Thief is currently bugged but as of next patch will increase spell crit. Shadow increases all crit damage so will affect spell crits.

Weapon crit is useless to you as staves all use spell crit despite using weapon damage.

Really? Is that in the patch notes? Hopefully they increase the potency of the mundus system too right now its absolutely pathetic. 100 hp? Really?

Heres to hoping that a mundus set of gear will add a meaningful amount of crit. Ill cringe if I make a whole set to get an extra .75%

From the PTS patch notes:

Fixed an issue where the Thief Mundus Stone buff was not properly applying spell critical strike chance.
