Monk Stat Conversation/Debate

Crit/Agil. Which is better, and to what extent?

Has anyone crunched numbers? I would like to know if an item like Slayer's Band would be better than the Honor Ring. Honestly, I dont know the correct formulas etc to decide which gives a higher overall damage per point rating. If someone could help me, that'd be great.

Also, should I be using BoA chest or Azure Scale.

NOTE: This is all for a WW monk.

for WW, just look up other people. dont reinvent the wheel. 2 crit is not better then 4 agi. sure you get more crit rating, its like .66% or something, but 4 agi is 8 ap and then some crit. got with honor ring unless of course you are doing 2x argas rings lol

ofc the honor ring is better. also you should go azure scale vest if you play with weaponchain and reached whitehitcap.

Yeah dont try to do something different and something that you think fits you

Agility has a higher stat priority than crit. If you take the AP that you would lose as a percentage of your current AP vs. the percentage of crit you would gain, you will see that you get more returns from AP (agility).

For example, if I were to run a crit set I would gain roughly 7% crit, i.e. 7% more damage. However, in the process of doing that I would lose 25 agility, which is 50 AP. I am running about 356 AP so that would mean lose 14% AP, which you can translate to roughly 14% damage (all of our attacks as WW are AP-based).

The Legionnaire's Band is better by miles, as it provides 12 AP (same as Signet of Argas). As Nazzr said, you will want to use Azure Scale Vest if you are running Pyrium Weapon Chain, otherwise use the BoA chest.

did you even read the dudes post? no? ok, let me explain it. hes asking to see which is better, and to what degree, CRIT or AGI.
