Well it seems split 50/50.

Theres the half that think skill and base are more important.
Theres the other half that thinks crit and hit are more important.

So instead of arguing each of the points into the ground, lets be productive and test it! Or else this will turn into a filibuster.

Phys - How did you go about testing it? Did you use any buffs/debuffs or did you isolate the firestorm?
Also, do we know how much percent 1 crit equals? So would 25 crit = 25/100 chance to hit a critical hit?
Also, each skill is different, going about testing each skill twice would be 2,400 recorded hits. Why not just make a simpler experiment that would determine which set actually preforms better out on the field, instead of running tests on each skill individually?
