Egioh

So, i was looking into getting my ranger a 50% crit chance, and use the "bleed on crit" trait plus a crit proc sigil.

Precision is of course at the core of the build, but i was wondering if anyone did the math on how does crit damage scale compared to condition or power, and if there is a "perfect spot" to maximize dps in that regard, assuming:

-1 every 2 hits is a crit
-all hits are flanking hits
-all crits bleed

I was also considering a more tanky build, with low power and crit damage, but stacked toughness, condition damage, and of course enough precision to get to that 50%....as pow and crit dmg work together,  i'm not sure how much sense would do cutting one of them for toughness.
In this later case i might even go for an earth sigil, which is kinda useless if you're counting on crits to actually do most of the damage.

My budget is kinda slim, i'm probably going to spend around 300$ for cpu+mobo+ram, and then another 150$ish on a vga....already have the rest of the stuff

Is gw2 cpu hungry? might consider getting a better processor and keep my good old  ati 5850.


Meanwhile, any good configuration tips to increase fps without hindering the visuals too much? I currently have an overclocked  Q6600, 4 gigs of ddr (dominator 1066) and that 5850. Run the game on medium specs, but during big events i go down to 10-15 fps.... to not  even talk about wvw
