10% damage 15hp or? 50% cri-rate?

which one?

Are you using fast weapons or heavy weapons?
Fast weapon with low damage but high attack rate - goes for crit rate
Slow weapon with very high damage but very low attack rate - % damage

I'm using a Sword and already selected Fighter for 10% damage and health point
and just realized that 50% crit rate is better .. for me ..

Well, can always buy a different weapon later once yours become too weak for what you're facing, I pick the % damage because I use slow heavy hitting weapons, but for the fast ones the critical chance is better because you'll attack more frequently and so make better use of it, also because they usually have bonus critical power, which increases damage done on critical strikes.

what's %dmg for critital hits of this game?
1.5x 2.0x 2.5x? or something?

the sword that I'm using is "Obsidian Edge" (30-45dmg)
and it deals a critical hits damage for about 120-140dmg
that's why..

Criticals seem to ignore defense, so if that's correct I'd go with that no matter your weapon choice.

I dont see any different between %dmg and %cri
because I cant reset or change my skill to the another one, anymore.

It doesn't matter which weapon you are using. Crit is always better.


For instance:
-10% damage boost
You attack with a slow weapon 2 times and do 10 points of dmg each.
With the 10% dmg boost, you would do 11 dmg each hit.
= 22 dmg

-50% crit (if it x2 your dmg)
You attack with a slow weapon 2 times and do 10 points of dmg each.
With the 50% crit, you would in theory at least crit 1 of the 2 times, doing 20 points of dmg.
= 30 dmg

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Want to restart the game!! OMGGGGGGGGG

I went to fighter for same as your reason.
but just see that only 1 crit hit can kill the monster cuz of thier dmg is about 3x
(40for normal hits and 120for crit hits for me )

Except it isn't clear that is how it works. For example, if your base crit rate is 10% chance then a 50% increase to that means it is now a 15% crit chance. All depends if it is done as a straight add or just a multiplyer to a base we don't know.

[Valar Morghulis]

Well I'm not that far into fighting.. so I can't test it. But as I read it, it would be a flat 50% modifier. Even if it's unbalanced as fu**.

The problem is, that you don't know your base. But if it increases your base crit chance to 25%, and the modifier is x3 (as mentioned above) and not x2, it would still be the better trait.
