I remember when people were bitching about wizards not being able to crit with magic, then I got to leather mobs in level 300 maps with my not-rerolled-to-full-DEX-yet swordsman and saw my 90% miss rate and thought “Yeah okay I’d trade crits for not experiencing this ■■■■ ever again”.

Yeah, maybe there is something missing in the formula they gave to us?
I reversed the:
Damage prior bonus = 163 / 1.25 = 130.4
log10((141 / (30+1)) ^ 0.9 + 1) = 0.69099781504
attack+skill factor = 130.4 / 0.69099781504 = 188.71260829160
attack = 188.71260829160 / 1.39 = 135.76446639683
I still believe investing into DEX is a lot more beneficial for a lot of builds, as it increases Evasion,Block Penetration,Critical damage and ASPD.
Especially Cleric Classes like Monk and Sadhu will greatly benefit from investing into DEX because of the Evasion&ASPD boost that affects Double Punch&OOB autoattacks.
Also, we must not forget that ASPD now affects the cast animation of many physical damage skills, allowing you to use them more quickly, thus fitting more damage into your rotation [if you got enough skills to spam].
More skills= more possible crits and also more critdamage from said skills.
But as I stated above,that’s very situational, depending on your build and equipment.
I believe it’s best to just build critrate to 30-40% and get decent gear/stats to have better base values for attack/critdamage/ASPD;
that way, you will be performing great even if the enemies have higher crit resistance…
There is a hidden modifier that reduces damage. The 25% bonus is there due to pierce vs leather, but so does a modifier that reduces the damage.

That explains it, tyvm!

err… so in order to beat red gem, yellow gem need min 5500 base Patk or higher crit chance right? Maybe around 69.647% crit chance (Tiaaa’s 450 crit rate+rogue 40% crit chance)
With the same critical chance, yes, you need 5500 attack for critical attack to be superior to red gems.
What is fairly clear is that, at high base attack, a build with sufficient critical rate will outperform any non critical build, even without critical attack.
Stacking critical attack, will lower the point where critical builds outperform non critical builds.
Edit:
With 450 critical:
Running simulation for 1000000 time(s) with the following parameters:

conclusion: STR+red gem beat DEX+yellow gem at current PVE content? say yes say yes say yes
edit: hmm… even with current reachable crit rate at ktest (450 crit rate) it still favor red gem, interesting…
O_O numbers lul. That break even point tho… RI… (oopps dun wanna face the gang vs RIP statements)…
lel STR meta, gotta dodge manually then XD, that’s why I hated STR archer on the current meta. Anyways may be able to use rouge now huehuehue.
Seems juicy for SW :3
I’m still unsure. You can still go for full str+yellow gems for some critical attack if you can reach a sufficient critical rate.
I’ll add a full test specifically for that purpose (STR vs dex).
I forgot to add… when you see “minimum 2700”, it means that 2700 is added to both minimum and maximum for red gems too, so:
red gems min 2700 - max 3320 vs yellow gems 2700 - 2700, yellow gems win.

I see, this makes sense, will it be possible for you to make same table with the red gem (max-min) vs yellow gem incorporated on it?
Standard point i think is comparing 3slots 7star red/yellow gem with X crit rate.
that sufficient critical rate is still undiscovered atm. maybe if you add +50% crit chance (rogue2) to 450 crit rate, it will turn the tide. IF it still cant turn the tide of battle, i guess we need to use +60% crit chance from rogue3 to your simulation
@redisdarkisred 3slot at end game weapon can only be means orange practo weapon, which is not as standard as 2 slot weapon
@myself @c2gaming.seetoo @delcas
STR vs DEX results (no gems added), assuming same critical rate and same number of criticals landed:
> Critical chance: 10.000000% - Attack: -1.000000
> Critical chance: 20.000000% - Attack: -1.000000
> Critical chance: 30.000000% - Attack: -1.000000
> Critical chance: 40.000000% - Attack: -1.000000
> Critical chance: 50.000000% - Attack: -1.000000
> Critical chance: 60.000000% - Attack: -1.000000
> Critical chance: 70.000000% - Attack: 11500.000000
> Critical chance: 80.000000% - Attack: 11200.000000
> Critical chance: 90.000000% - Attack: 11000.000000
> Critical chance: 100.000000% - Attack: 10800.000000
How to read the table:
-1 means that the base attack required is higher than 16000, probably infinite.
Any other value, is the base attack required by a pure DEX build (so the STR one would have 825 more base attack).
Pure DEX becomes more effective at very high critical chances + very high base attack, but the values are so high that makes it unrealistic to achieve.
I just updated my file. You can both check STR vs DEX comparison (by even switching Monstrance ON/OFF) and also have a Calculator inside that should help doing all tests with gems.
Edit: To those who had already used it, there was a cell in the gem calculator referring to base damage and not final one. It’s fixed now, it will apply Red/Yellow gems correctly.

Dex doesn’t affect oob attack from what I remember
Yeah, it doesn’t… I tried after reading here it did, but nope. It does not.
Looks like Sissel bracelet will be mandatory, dam man, i don’t want Rogue because only at rank 5 you can be a rogue thats really suc… 
So where/when is crit attack added into the attack equation?
could i get a formula please
