%25 crit or %28 ?

[Huunu]

Hi guys,

Yesterday I changed my build as %51 haste %90 mastey %28 crit (raid buffed)
It was pretty fine and I was always the top 4th on 25m hc and 1st at spoils

My question: is %28 crit unnecessary ? Should I stay at %25 ? Because I dont want to lose my dps. I am planning to reforge my legendary back's crit to hit so that I can replace my expertise-mastey/haste gems to int- mastey/haste ones.

Is this a good idea ? Does it change somethings or not worth ?

Awaiting your comments

28% on your character sheet is 25% on a raid boss due to Crit suppression. You lose 1% per level the target is above your own.

You don't need to intentionally gear for 28% crit. In fact, due to a variety of int procs (even more so if you're a tailor with Lightweave), your crit is often inflated above the base value you see on your character sheet. Intentionally gearing for 28% character sheet crit will cause you to often be above shatter cap in fights, which makes it a bad idea.

With more stuff, it can be difficult to not be to high on Crit.

Crit cap for 100% crit of Lances and FFB is 26.5%
26.5 X 2 + 50 = 103% - 3% (raidboss penalty) = 100%

[Komma]

Crit cap for 100% crit of Lances and FFB is 26.5%
26.5 X 2 + 50 = 103% - 3% (raidboss penalty) = 100%

This is incorrect. Crit surpression applies before Shatter multiplier.

(25% - 3%)x2 + 50 = 100%

[Maverixx]

(25% - 3%)x2 + 50 = 100%

I think you meant "28%"
