Fact or Fiction?

This week is about Class Representative questions!

 

Tip of the Week

* Most theorycrafters agree that Power should be prioritized over Critical Rating.

* Only specs with high-dependency on crits should even consider including it in their builds.

Sages/Sorcerers specced into Telekinetics/Lightning might consider including it, for example.

* Keep crit mods, as they may be tinkering with crit in the coming weeks/months, as indicated in the Sage/Sorcerer Dev responses.

* For now, get the majority of your crit from your primary stat.
