Sylph or solid gollux ring?

Hi,
So I'm an ice lightning, with a sylph ring that has 10% min crit. I also screwed up and can't perfect the ring so it's only +9 m.att, no biggy though.

My question is, for the moment, should I use the sylph ring, or the gollux ring which currently gives me 30k more range.
I have about 1.7m range, 100% crit, and 54% min crit, 68% max crit. with the sylph it's 64% min crit.

Thanks.

Can i ask how you have 100% Crit? Which Links/Lines of %Crit do you have? I've only ever been able to get 100% crit on my bishop not my I/L or F/P .[/quote]

I have 100% crit on my F/P, you can stack the adventure critical ring and the beast tamer's critical ring (that's +30% crit), 10% crit from phantom's link skill, and I also have 8% crit on my emblem.

I don't really, it's just that CL has that inner 25% Crit, and I have 77% Crit rate, so with CL I have 100%. Just thought it's easier to say I have 100%.
But hell, if I just put on a Crit ring, get my phantom link to lvl 3 and get the BM(?) card, I'll have 100. So it's definitely possible.

With hyper stats coming in the future, it'll be more than possible.

@betaboi101 @stevenman76 I'm actually seeing the difference, and I'm hitting harder with Sylph ring. The first time I tested was wearing my dSE gloves and so obviously it seemed I'm hitting less.

[quote=stevenman76]Your damage is going to look lower, because its only affecting your bottom number. Test your dojo time or something. min crit increases your damage over time, and won't seem to increase your damage per line[/quote]

This; without the dojo gloves, your range may or may not be a bit lower in which the ~30k difference will be more beneficial than with the higher range. Also, as this poster said, min crit just ups the minimum. The maximum will remain the same. But if you take the mean of the hits, you should be hitting higher per second with the min crit.

[quote=nekiridaani]To be honest, after testing it, it seems my damage has lowered.

EDIT: I just tested again, sylph does appear to win even on regular mobs. I must have left my regular gloves on instead of switching to Dojo when I previously tested.[/quote]

[quote=betaboi101]30k range with a 1.7mil range is about a 1.76% increase in damage. The sylph ring gives you a 5% increase in damage since you have 100% crit. 5%> 1.76%

*You can also neb the sylph ring for a small stat boost too[/quote]

Actually, its a 3.1% (2s.f.) increase.
