Is CritDraw still decent

[Blind]

CritDraw was nice in 3U, since aside from greatsword you could critdraw into a hammer charge and such and in 4 you could crit draw jump attacks (unless I'm remembering wrong)

Mainly asking since I don't have access to a lot of WEX yet, the only good piece being the Hornytaur Pants

[Seamus]

Not really. Seem to recall it has some niche meme uses like shenanigans with longsword special sheath, but otherwise even on things like greatsword where it used to be great, it's not really worth it anymore.

Too easy to just straight get 100% crit all the time now.

For fun
Dragon piercer frostcraft crit draw maybe
GS can work but also with frostcraft
Without frostcraft it's kinda meh tho

Well, earlier items you can get CritDraw in like 2 points but it takes like 10 points to get Wex/Eye up

Critdraw has uses on an incomplete Frostcraft Greatsword set, when you have access to the Velk armor but not to AT velk or enough good decorations to pump affinity normally. Thus, you use it instead of CE and all the rest and save space so you can slot in your necessary skills like Health Boost and Focus.

In the case of great sword, crit draw just flat out isn't worth it anymore.

The most effective thing to do with the weapon is learn to time true charges, and they don't benefit from crit draw.

Same goes for pretty much any non-meme setup.

Not everyone wants to play the most meta build all the time

[Seamus]

Yes, I'm aware of that.

God knows I don't play meta builds most of the time.

Doesn't make crit draw actually a good choice, though.

Crit draw is super good with frostcraft and punishing draw, but otherwise its not very useful.

[♋Phenex]

It's pretty much used in just meme builds like clutch claw wyvernsnipe HBG where you claw monsters and use the weapon attack as these count as draw attacks. Shots do up to 1k+ damage.

regular... really it was the 10/15 minute time limit that got me 'cuz I was reinging it it 'cuz I didn't want to overkill a capture quest

[Seamus]

Ah. Yeah. 15's can be rough in master rank if you don't do stuff like abusing the hell out of clutch claw tenderizing.

critical draw is not very meaningful even in the frostcraft builds because stacking affinity is not very difficult.
