Warrior crit rate question

[captnamazing]

If you are asking because you want higher DPS, stack strength. It will outperform the occasional crit/crip anytime!

ratio+ haste make the biggest difference. Stats are fairly meaningless for everything in eq.

Do you play a warrior? STA is of vital (pun intended) importance. DEX is an essential stat for increasing proc rate which = consistent aggro. Higher STR helps you hit more and harder, which is an added bonus for the group.

Obviously having a good ratio wep and haste help DPS (as a tank, DPS is tertiary importance, after survivability and aggro generation), but the discussion here is about how stats affect the character.

I would be very interest to find confirmation about whether or not DEX affects crit chance. I have read that it does, and I have also read that it is broken on p99. I know that it affects how well you perform ranged attacks, and probably ranged criticals for rangers/warriors.

We were talking about dps. STR has very little affect on damage or hit rate. Dex is probably the most useful because warriors do rely so much on procs for aggro although haste and ratio are equally as important. Still overall ability stats are relatively meaningless. The devs have been saying this for 15 years I find it hard to believe people still say otherwise. AC on this server is also fairly meaningless as parses show and devs have confirmed.

100 increase in dex gives you less than 1 proc per min more if using 2 procing weapons. Your aggro from your potential dps aka weapon swings is a much bigger % of your aggro than most people give it credit for. So your aggro is directly tied to your dps potential which is most boosted by ratio+ haste.

dude, what?? how are you possibly getting this idea? After level 30, STR bonus is an essential part of DPS. STR also directly affects ATK, which influences how often you hit monsters.

No it really does not. I think you're thinking of damage bonus which has nothing to do with str. Str does have an affect but its negligible.

Lol what a surprise, this terrible poster is shitting up other class threads with misinformation as well.

Strength gives about 1 attack per strength, and it also increases your maximum hit.

Testing on a 60 shaman using epic for attacking on Corrudoth a level 5 mob:

1.) 127 Strength, 861 Attack, max hit 68

2.) 255 Strength, 974 Attack, max hit 84


Or you can just use the wiki and learn the formulas. But whatever you do please stop posting your shitty opinions that contradict basic facts in every thread.

I think you need to re read my posts. The majority of attack is hard coded via skill. Str makes little difference. Ratio and haste make a much larger difference. This is not rocket science.
