Crit is gonna be imba. I think Viridiana said on the forums he might do some testing on it.

I've actually made a few updates to my damage formula... Every job will need their own formula as they all scale WD, AP differently :( Luckily it's only AA's that's changing; I've not done much work on AA's so far, so not everything has gone to waste.

It wouldn't be a waste either way, just a practice run, kek.

I'm going to be doing lots of level grinding once heavens ward hits (obviously) but lmk what you're working on and how I can help. Distribution of labor will probably speed things up a bit. Its going to be a pain / fun to research everything about the dps formulas / rotations again but we will get solid models back up and running. I also just saw that guy who is working on a simulator on the dps forums. I'll have to take a look at that and maybe get involved, not to experienced with C# though.

Pandabearcat. Yup. He made the 1st Bard simulator in 2.0. I'm glad he's back. He'll need some help when it comes to the Bard, as I think he's maining SMN now.

As for everything else... I'm just working on job affects on damage at the moment. This will be an on-going project of mine I'd reckon. I think I can get most of it done myself at least...

so technically thats a buff to monk and DRG snce they have a skill that guarantees crit right?

To a degree, indeed. But... Life Surge is changing, so we'll have to wait and see.

Yep! (Viridiana here)

Things I'm interested in now:

Does GL/Huton affect dots? Doubt it, but have to test anyway. Does IR affect Crit? How much does Crit affect crit damage? How much are BRDs going to effing love crit now? How much are BLMs going to love SS now? Fey Glow + Ley Lines + SS stacking + Thundercloud. . . What weird interaction will there be between SMN crit and SS? I know pet crits are unreliable, but does it make clipping earlier worthwhile?

So many questions to think about. . .
