15% Critical Rate vs 15% Damage Reduction
So basically I'm making a new character and it's a TB but I have two choices. It's either I make him on one of my accounts that has a 15% critical rate ring and a Battle Mage (4% damage reduction) which will bring my total critical rate to 75 by the time I'm a high enough level. However I can choose to make it on my other account which has a Zero that has 15% Damage reduction bringing my total to 45% damage reduction. I'm just worried that Zero isn't going to be released for a very long time. Does the 15% critical rate matter? If I put it on my Zero account I will end up with 60% critical rate. (These all include link skills btw)
FORGOT TO MENTION MINIMUM CRIT!
All in all;
[b]15% crit rate extra [/b]
[b]4% damage reduction [/b]
[b]10% minimum critical damage[/b]
vs
[b]15% damage reduction[/b]
[b]Lots of storage space[/b]
[b]6% minimum critical damage (since I don't have the space for another 3 chars to make it 10%)[/b]
What do you think would be a better choice in your opinion? My only concern is that Zero won't be released for a long time and I don't know if another 15% critical rate ring will be coming anytime soon
Might I mention my Zero account has a lot of storage space in the long run I won't need to buy slots.
Thank you all

@Samygxz85 hahaha, not possible for me.
@AnthonysWill Yeah that's what I thought too but is ALL of Gollux %HP attacks or no? I mean I only considered the damage reduction since it helps a chunk while training and such. Even other bosses that don't have %HP attacks.
Yeah I guess you're right about the other characters being mules.
Only thing is worrying about getting a Zero link skill and such.
I also miss out on the bonus 8% exp that it will give from the character card but oh well I guess
[quote=zilliro]there's percent damage reduction now?
does that reduce the damage you deal? or reduce the damage the enemy deals? that first one doesn't make sense...[/quote]
Reduce the damage that an enemy deals.

@Vigorous
15% critical rate + 10% minimum critical damage>>>>>15% damage reduction on most bosses.
First of all, that 15% critical rate increases your overall damage when you train, boss, and quest.
The faster you kill your mobs, the more EXP you gain, and the more faster you level.
Zero's 15% reduction does not work on % based HP attacks like RA bosses and Gollux.
Second, since you have a massive amount of characters on your first account, you can use them as storage mules,
at least that's what I do with all my link skill mules: (Cannon Shooter, Mercedes, Demon Slayer, Demon Avenger, Phantom, Xenon, Kanna, etc.)
well u have 1 day to get a bt to 130 to get the ring that could be a solution although that ring would be a waste on a non mage.
[quote=fmonglobal]Normally I would say 15% crit is better cause offence is more important, but you can raise your crit from other thibgs like Hyper Skill, Link Skill, etc.
So go with Damage Reduction. The bonus inv space is good too.[/quote]
Yeah but those numbers are including all link skills and hyper skills(if they have it) except the 10% base one at level 198 or whatever.
So it'd be 85% crit rate for the first account and 70 for the second.
ALSO I forgot to add that my first account has 10% min critical damage from character cards.
My second account only has 6% min crit and I don't have the space to make it 10%.
@epicderp No I leveled him too late.
Does your Zero not have the Zero Gratis ring?
