Guild Wars 2

How much weight does 1% critical damage have? I appears that Power, Vitality, Precision, Toughness, Healing and Condition Damage are 1:1. If you added 1% critical damage how much of stat X would you need for it to have the same weight?

I’m not sure CritDmg is weighted based on character stats.
CritDmg is unrelated to your base stats like Pow/Tou/Vit/Prec, just like Magic Find.

I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking.

Crit damage % gets upped when you add to precision, but if you add directly to % crit, none of the other stats are affected.

Take orbs for example.

Ruby Orb = Power/Precision/Critical Damage = 20/14/2%
Emerald Orb = Precision/Toughness/Power = 20/14/14

Is 1% critical equal to 7 of any stat?

But the stats cover different aspects of your character abilities, so none of them are equal to the other. 14 Power isn’t equal to 14 Toughness any more than it’s equal to 2% Crit

If it helps, there’s a calculation for figuring out how much crit you get out of precision points

Guess I’m also getting confused because the “+X% critical” gives you damage, but precision ups your Crit % chance, so I’m not quite sure what you’re looking to have it equated to.
+Power would add to the overall damage of your attacks, so I suppose in that way it also affects your crit damage, but only in a secondary manner.

Some what of a side question but i been trying to work out at what point is precision not worth critical dmg or power.

He’s asking about how much 1 percentage point of critical damage is worth in other stats on gear. Or its ratio in other words.

And the answer is that it has no fixed cost. It depends on what piece you’re looking at.

For example, on the exquisite jewels 1% crit dmg is worth 5 stat points, but for the normal orbs 1% crit dmg is worth 7 points.

There’s a chart here that will give you the ratios. Note that these are for exotic gear only. Ascended is different.

Yes thank you.

This is what I was wondering because some pieces of gear weigh critical damage differently than other pieces. If you do the math, you can actually build your character inefficiently.
