DS>FO>Anyhow, "critical more often than not" is complete bull so at least say
DS>FO>it sensibly, more like "criticals more often than an intellect-driven
DS>FO>warrior" (Keep in mind that raising intellect by 5 when you have 100
DS>FO>martial arts raises it by 4 if i remember right, and that only brings up
DS>FO>the crit % by about 1%, which isnt a whole lot of a diff when you're
DS>FO>talking about 24% going to 25%, but if you had 4 martial arts and went
DS>FO>to 8 its a big step)
DS>I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I have only around 89 or 90ish
DS>martial arts and I'm critting at 29% with a dragontooth in the wooden
DS>passage at level 21. I can tell you right now that martial arts doesn't
DS>mean squat when you're dealing with crit% because there's a level 13
DS>mystic with a good 20 more martial arts than me and he crits less. I've
DS>also seen a level 21 ranger use a multicolored sash to get around 70
DS>martial arts and his crit% did not increase drastically. Whether you
DS>want to believe it or not, from my experience, martial arts plays nearly
DS>no role in anything. My crit% did NOT drop when I lost 20 or so MA with
DS>the introduction of 1.1i (I think it was that version). Way back in
DS>1.1g I had a mage with like 12 MA that crit around 15% at level 16 with
DS>a rosewood. By your formula, I should have been critting at 3%.

I'm sorry to burst YOUR bubble, but martial arts practically IS
criticals. You crit 29% at what % accuracy, and how accurate is that
number? As far as the level 21 ninja(?) to t he level 13 mystic.. OF
COURSE HES GONNA CRIT LESS YOU FUCKING MORON sorry for the words, but
you just don't understand the game at all. You must be swinging 4's or
5's with the dtt, and that little mystic probably swings 3s or
something, so it would seem he crits less to anyone with your
intelligence. A level 21 ranger with the multicoloured sash doesnt have
enhanced criticals, so of course its not going to increase drastically
(I do believe i've explained that 500 times). Also with the 20 MA loss,
they probably made the crit vs martial arts ratio difference.
The information I tell you is based on about 3 years of data collected
by my scripts (data since january has been down to the hundredth of a
percent).  Also, on our BBS I watch Witchunters, Warriors, Ninjas,
Clerics, Rangers, and Mystics, Mages, Druids who all use my script so
don't tell me your bs like I don't know what im talking about
