Guild Wars 2

I’m in all lvl 80 exotics (power/precision/crit damage). Weapon is a lvl 80 exotic rifle (power/precision/crit damage). Sigil 5% to crit. Trinkets are level 80 but they are green atm. I only have 10 points into firearms for 100 precision. With all that my crit with rifle in hand is 37%. Standing still with trait 47%, 67% with fury up.

My question is, what are other engineers’ crit %s?

Is mine unusually low?

I ask because I’m seeing other people (warriors) with 65% base crit.

Thanks in advance for your kind responses.

If I am not mistake the scope trait from tools does not work right atm. It rarely if ever actually applies.

What runes / gems do you have in your gear? Depending on the rune set you can get another ~12%

I typically go 20 into firearms but I sit around ~50% base and ~70% with fury.

Also lvl80 exotics, but i’m sitting at over 50% base.

30 Firearms, explorer armor and full opal/explorer jewelry puts me at 46% crit chance, 41% without my rifle.

Seems pretty high. I’m sure not everyone is going for high crit only since you lose other benefits because you can’t max all the stats at the same time.

@Karast.1927 I decided to apply 6 runes of speed, before I found out that the 6 piece bonus does not appear to be working. I spent a fortune on them though, so I don’t want to replace them just yet. Jems are power/prec/crit D

Thanks for the tip on rifle scope not working.

I’m currently sitting at 50% from gear and it appears to be a soft cap. I tried putting a sigil of accuracy in my rifle and received no extra critical hit chance. I expected 55%, but I’m still sitting at 50%.

I have a full exotic berserkers gear on WvW, with 60% crit chance and 89 Crit Damage, sadly when i change weapons it drops top 56% crit chance ¬¬. Full Glass canon rifle.

Swapping to a kit(losing weapon stats) shows 150 precision is about 8% crit lost for me. since you didn’t max out firearms you’re missing perhaps 10%?

My stats with grenadier build. The crit chance drop with grenades is huge, more than i realize

Well, I guess I need to consider taking points out of tools, and reallocating them to firearms. I just really like the reduction of cooldown for the tool-belt skills, as well as for gadgets. Guess you can’t have it all.

Thanks again for all of your thoughtful responses!

I would highly recommend maxing out firearms, it gives a ton of crit. Also trinkets make a big difference.

I stand at 59% crit with full exotic berserker, gets to over %80 with food and fury.

Don’t forget your food buffs! they are VERY powerful, persist through death, and cost almost nothing,

I have full Berserker’s exotics, full Firearms and Explosions, and sit at 50% unbuffed crit and over 3500 unbuffed attack. This is mostly a rifle/grenadier WvW spec that focuses purely on damage and burst.

I run tools for the critical damage.

If you spam the keys enough or use elixir U. You will crit frequently ( I do with only 41 percent critical chance)

I am at 49%, but I am mostly wearing Vit + Toughness gears.

Sticking with rifle just purely for the hit and run.
