Q:
Best Attributes for Crit Damage Thief
Just wondering, which prefix/stats do you value? I’m a noob.
Precision, Power, Crit Damage %, or what others?Berserker’s
Valkyrie’s
Rampager’s???
Any other recommendations?
The question is “best attributes for crit DAMAGE thief”…so much choice would be Crit Damage %.
When playing a Critical Strikes build it’s all about balancing your stats to a point where you feel you’ve reached an acceptable level of survivability.
Typically you will be messing around with:
“Soldiers”, “Valkyries”, “Berserkers” and “Knights” gear as those offer the best stat-combinations for Thieves.
Generally speaking your most important stat is Power, since that’s what all your other damage is based on.
Precision and Critical Damage is a balancing act with no clear-cut rules. Just remember to always get Crit-Damage in your Orbs since that’s the most effective source.
Vitality and Toughness boost your survivability with Vitality being the better stat by far. However a little Toughness goes a long way so don’t underestimate it. The rule of thumb is to aim for a 10:1 ratio of HP to armor.
Just thought I should mention that when comparing bonus from gear to that from traits, Critical Strikes has a relatively much higher yield then the gain on critical chance through Precision, or direct damage through Power from Deadly Arts.
