I like to think that there are more 'quality' posters and less immature players in these parts of the forums. I also like to think that a lot of the sin players as a whole are collectively interested in advancing their gameplay.

This is why I love the sin/shadow community.

Personally I went for the crit build. Having over 50% crit chance on dots was just too good to pass up
We'll know what we're made of, when up against all odds...

[QUOTE=Jinre_the_Jedi;8555201]As far as Crit relic goes, you want maximum burst in PvP and this helps you to achieve that. Maximum burst comes in the highest form comes via Critical hits. Crit relic will aid you in both achieving critical hits as well as doing more damage via surge when you do critically hit. Lastly, if you get no crits during a crit relic proc then that's just bad luck, but I still think it's worth the gamble with crit rates being as high as they are now.[/QUOTE


Can't agree here yes the crit relic does boost your crit chance from 40 to 43% and surge from 70 to 73% but thats it. it is not a sure thing YOU WILL CRIT by any means where as at least with Mastery I get an increase in DMG when ever it procs no if and or buts about it! I see far more 16k to 20k crits with mastery than i did with Crit relic which tended to be near 13k to 15k

It actually boosts your crit % and surge % by more than that and as I've stated before, if the Relic does proc and you crit, you'll do more damage in those 4 GCDs than you would under the same circumstances as having a mainstat relic.

However, as I've stated before, it's all personal preference. Do you favor RNG or consistency? Do you favor higher damage or slightly more critical hits? The choice is always yours.

Krea, do you know if with Force Potency effect to Blast and Breach they will seen by the client as autocrits? (since we have a base of 40+% crit + 60% from FP)

I would recommend Critical augments, but I'm personally using Power.

Someone asked me this same question in stream and I answered it, was that you by any chance?
