Runes of Magic US / AU

Idk about this healing power chain drive nonsense. While I can't confirm or deny, it literally makes zero sense to me why developers would implement something like that. As such, I will believe (with no evidence) that it does nothing.

You can't really get around losing crit, since....well axes now have crit instead of hammers. It sucks, but not really anything we can do about it --- a 60% damage increase from upgrading from a lvl 80 weapon to a 98 isn't something 2k crit can compensate for. With that said, you should still use the horban's set.

I currently have 6750 crit, using all sub-90 gear (except 1 earring and hammer), and 1200 crit rate only increases my crit rate by round 8% in the top instance. While this "appears" pretty large, if I were to upgrade my lvl 85 items to the lvl 98 set, replacing the horban set would only net me around 5% crit rate increasse. In comparison, the damage from the horban set gives roughly 6% pdmg (I use 1h hammer).


Direct Answer to your questions:

1) I am not "endgame" gear wise, though I am attempting the highest level instances. I have 6750 crit rate. I hope to get around 7.2k via upgrading 4 lvl 85 pieces to 4 lvl 98 items (but still using non-crit pants/belt/gloves/ring set).

2) I use 1h hammer + tali when tanking. I just used the highest level talisman that gave stamina, healing didn't really matter to me. When on c/r, I dual wield 1h hammer + dagger.

As mentioned, still regearing.

Ok So I quit years ago when hammers still had crit and more pa. With new wep I lost 8k crit and like 5k patt. Also started the Horbans set but will also lose crit. Im concerned.

1)Any endgame champions tell me how much crit they are running with or what is an optimal goal?

2)I started on a 2h hammer with stam accuracy and some patt. For dual weilding what are you using? I heard something about healing power making rune pulse proc faster as with 1h hammer/tali.

It depends on which champ combo you are playing and whether you are trying to tank or dps.

For ch/m dps you want crit crit crit, as much crit as you can get your hands on. on Ch/m all the extra flashy pdmg boost from things like set bonuses will not make any difference at the end of the day if you don't crit.

For the other champ dps combo you want to gear like rest of the melee does. 4 piece main set and 4 piece off set for dmg, hoe acc set etc.

But if you are tanking on a champ combo then you want as much crit as possible. Champ aggro is so stupidly broken that wasting stat and gold behind junk like patk and pdmg from set bonuses will not make you tank any better.

ps-There is still 1 hammer in game that has crit on it and is still usuable at an end game lvl. I don't know if you will be able to get hold of it or not tho, theres only 1 in entire US server that I know of atm.
