SR3 Crossbow: Red Gems or Yellow Gems?

Assuming that I have 50% crit chance (Attainable thru gears and green gems on pistol)

Which gem is better to socket in Crossbow? Yellow Gem (+Crit Atk) or Red Gem (+Max Atk)

Correct me if I’m wrong. I think if its Crit Atk, it doesnt get computed when using skills.

However Yellow Gems give more than the Red gem?

Example:
Lvl. 7 Yellow Gem = +470 Crit Atk
Lvl. 7 Red Gem = +310 Max Atk

Depends on your base attack imo. If you have under 5.5k base attack, I would put red, but over, you should run yellow.
If you run red, it’s better to do Green in Main and Red in offhand, but Yellow would be better to have green in off, and yellow in main.

i vote for red. Yellow gem if you dont crit, give zero contribution to your DPS. Meanwhile red will always add something although RNG

why no green ?

OP said he can get 50% crit chance through gear.
679^0.6=50%
assuming he has 679 crit rate
add 3 lv 8 green gem. 58x3=174
total 679+174= 853 crit rate
853^0.6=57% crit chance
only 7% increase using 3 lv 8 green gem

Submitting a mosnter with 160 critdef. who can I calculate ?

I think that dude is asking, why not put green in mainhand, since OP putting green in offhand.
That’s where I suggested, better to put red in offhand and green in main if he wants to run red. Green in off and Yellow in main if he wants to run yellow.

that is also my answer, green gems gives too little for such high investment

how about if he have 300 crit rate,

green gem will be better right

when 300=30% and 450=39%

so it could be, if u lack of attack but have decent of crit rate, go red

if u have a lot of atk (or cri atk) but lack of crit rate, go green

i personally think that below 50% crit chance is too low to be dependable. But it is up to you guys, i dont aim to have highest dps in my server.
