General

I chose max crit (have 86% right now) just because I want to see much higher numbers.

@z3non: I decided to go with min crit since i dont really do a lot of bosses >~< and my boss damage was 102% actually.

[quote=Dulcet]Going back to this, as a shade which would be the best from these since shades have built in 90% crit rate after a monster hits 50% of their health. I have 15% crit rate atm and will have 30% when i get a phantom link skill making it so i have 100% crit after a monster is at 50% health. My boss damage is about 96% i think. Would it be better to get a boss damage ring or a Crit chance ring?

Currently on the selection screen and need an answer asap[/quote]

In your case, I would suggest getting the boss damage ring unless you're planning on getting 200%+ boss damage in the near future.

[quote=Axnslicer]People have already done the math, it's generally agreed that the best ring is dependent on circumstances

1. If you don't have 100% crit, 10% crit rate, though at this particular point you're probably better of with a pivotal crit ring
2. If you have 100% crit and over 150% boss+total damage, 10% min crit damage
3. If you have 100% crit and less than 150% boss+total damage, 10% boss

Is min crit still the worth for heroes? Since our criticals are lower than other classes...

Don't forget the capping group, especially for a class that can reach that point easily. As a capping MM i'm going with status resist, i think. :c Though maybe i'll regret this the next time they raise cap/revamp skills[/quote]

That's true, but I figure the people who consistently cap probably have LGRs or something and don't need to worry about the Sylph ring. I forgot status resist was in there actually, but I can see how that would be useful. Personally I cap status resist with a resist potion, but I guess if you really want more status resist and already do enough damage, it's fine.

[quote=Gildarts]Nice input! I was deciding either PDR or Boss ATT, and I chose the pdr ring because I currently have 85% pdr and 309% boss damage. I didn't pick the boss att one because I have already enough boss %? And I wanted to reach 100% pdr, did I made a mistake? Is there a way to change it?[/quote]

That was a mistake and unfortunately I don't know of any way to change rings once you've chosen. Hopefully the option comes up later?

Reasoning is simply

10% additional pdr means you go from 85->86.5% pdr. Ignoring 1.5% more of the opponents defense is generally weaker than having 10% more min crit damage, which translates to a 2-3% increase in dps.

That said, the ring isn't really all that good compared to potential rings. For most people, 2-3% more dps is just about 8-12% more stat, and a 12% stat ring isn't all that impressive. If you made the wrong choice I wouldn't worry about it, you can probably find a better cracked Gollux ring.

Will the damage skin expire if you apply it to the character?[/quote]
The damage skin you get from the quest will stay in your Use inventory until 10/22. Then it will expire. So best to save your current skin (if any) using the item you get before you apply this week's skin.

Most funded people fall into category 2, unfunded people fall into category 1 or 3.

10% PDR is a waste of time and 10% min crit is almost always better than 10% max crit.[/quote]

Pretty sure boss dmg is additive, not multiplicative like PDR. So whereas PDR gets harder and harder to get the more you have, Boss% just adds up. Pretty sure.

Idk what you mean by diminishes, but the boss damage on affect your damage on bosses, the crit rings affect your damage on everything.
