New MMO players nowadays are just bad.



You have no idea what grind means right?

Do you think that is true with the masses?  My co-workers and friends that play the game really enjoy it.  They are all casual players that are not spending their lives in a game.  The complaints I see on this forum are totally different from what I see in real life and what I experience in the game.  I think if you feel the need to do all the dailies, monthlies buy/get  the best exotic/ascended gear it becomes more of a job than a game.  When I read about some of the hours that players put into this game I am shocked. I have read some players putting more that 40 hours a week into the game and then complaining about being bored of the content.  I worry when our developers have to do more than 40 hours a week.  Excessive overtime leads to burn out and bad code. Why would people expect different from playing a game excessively?

That's what the black box is for.

Just plug your power (P), crit rate (C, as a percent, 60% = 0.60) and crit damage % (D, again as a %) into the formula:

D = P * (1 + C * (0.5 + D))

Then plug in what you are thinking of doing (can get a lot of the numbers using this spreadsheet, you'll have to add rune/sigil bonuses yourself but can easily add up the stats by hand and add them in the formulas), crit rate is your total precision minus 916 (base stat) divided by 21 then add 4 for base crit rate= (P - 916)/21 + 4

Whichever number is higher will give you more damage in the long run.
