***RAWR!!: A Comprehensive Analysis of Strength Sets: AO3 to Humania***

[Energizeric]

If the majority of bow bears auto mobs and bosses (which most do), then the extra crit for skill damage is null. Make sense?

Actually, Crit does indeed affect auto-attack as well. When I use shanks set, Crit is 51. When I further use Rage, Crit jumps up to 91, which means 9 out of 10 attacks will be critical hits. If at that point I just put my bear on auto-attack and don't use a single skill, the hits are for 500-600 each, meaning that Crit clearly does affect auto-attack as well as skill damage. I didn't actually know this until I started using this set.

This is another reason why shanks set causes high damage. Even on auto-attack you are getting 3 hits every 2 seconds, and when buffed these hits average 500-600 damage each. Add in some slashes here and there, and you can take down the average 10-12k health boss in about 10 seconds.

I now use this set whenever I am farming any lower levels where having high armor is not a big concern. It simply makes running through each dungeon much faster.
