    Default When to choose crit over damage and vice versa.

    Let's say you are are level 20 dex avian. You want to buy yourself a nice ring, because you want to deal more damage. But What would be better? ring a with 2% crit and 10 damage or ring b 1% crit and 11 damage?

    Your weapon has 50 damage.
    Let's say you are going to hit your target 100 times, so with ring a you are going to crit twice and hit 98 normal attacks (not taking dodge or misses into account).

    now times for some advanced math here

    98 x 60 + 2 x 2 x 60 = 5880 + 240 = 6120

    You will deal 240 crit damage and 5880 for a total of 6120 damage.

    Now lets see what would happen if you were wearing b ring with only one crit and 99 normal attacks but with additional 1 damage.

    99 x 61 + 2 x 61 = 6161

    As you can see 1 damage is better then 1% crit but only to the point. When your damage extends 98, crit will be better then raw damage.

    Conclusion: Pick damage over crit when you are using fast, low damage weapons like daggers. Pick crit over damage when you are using heavy high damage weapons like crossbow.
