Hi, I was wondering about the reasoning for choosing sigil of accuracy instead of force.
The obvious reason I can see is the 5% more crit chance gives faster execution of sigil of fire. But will we really gain anything due to the internal cd?

Then aside from that I did some damage calculations. Let’s assume 50% crit chance, 100% crit dmg. Base dmg D.
D*(1 + (crit chance/100)* (0.5 + crit dmg/100))

Accuracy:
D*(1 + (0.5 + 0.05)* (0.5 + 1)) = 1.825*D

Force:(I’m not sure if force adds damage to the crit damage as well)
If it does:
D*(1 + 0.5 ) * 1.05 = 1.8375D

Or if force is only multiplied only on the noncrit part:
D*(1*1.05 + 0.5 ) = 1.8D

In some posts of testing this I have seen results that indicate that the whole damage on crit is increased by 5%. But I’m not sure.
Since you choose accuracy I thought you might know and if there are other reasons?
