Ive seen that currently everyone seems to be running crit/vers. Why is this?
I totally understand that vers is great because its a straight damage increase/reduction but why are people running crit when its nerfed in pvp?
It just seems like a haste/verse meta would be so much better.
Answer is, it depends on the class/spec and playstyle. But basically...
Like you said, verse is a straight % increase and % damage reduction. It also affects ele force and hidden satyr procs.
Haste is good for casts (more casts), GCD (more instant casts), more dots. Over long periods of time, it makes a significant difference. Most casters go with haste.
Crit is nerfed to 150%dmg in pvp (instead of 200%). So that makes it less appealing. It still can be very strong, as key crits or chain crits can burst people down before healing gets in. Its also better if your time-on-target is limited (like 19 outlaw rogues, who usually have a short window after cheap shot in which to secure a kill before the enemy can heal/jump away/kite).
So to your specific question - 29 boomies are running crit because they either A) Are focusing on starsurge burst instead of rot or B) Prefer the excitement of big crits rather than being reliably solid damage. Or perhaps they just have random gear.
ok ill try one more time, is there a character you can link me with the true BIS or a guide you can link me to the true BIS and stat priority list? it seems very hard to get back into the community because people are so resistant to helping
BiS is very variable. Generally the priority is Int > verse > haste > crit. But you can also have multiple sets for different situations. A glass cannon int/crit set for bursting down EFC with stacks out of stealth. A rot set for mid that has some stam/verse and lots of haste. A flag carry set with lots of stam/verse (and minor speed).
