General

The mechanics of min and max crit changed as of Athenatheum. Whichever of min and max crit is lower will be the actual min crit %.

Get whichever % is lower. For most classes this is min crit %, but fro some like DrK it would be max crit %.

I'm wondering as well. Getting confused because some people say it's better to "balance" the min and max critical so min would be better and on the other hand, with the way the critical works now, max would be better.

[quote=freezenlight]i mean like if your max crit is 150% then, your min crit can never be over that, so im saying in case in the future we get items that increase min crit, its better to have max crit ring instead since it has no limit.[/quote]
I see, thank you for the easy to understand explanation
But if you hit cap with max critical, wouldn't min critical be better?

Edit: Wait that's wrong, other people are saying that if you min > max, they would simply switch around. Like if you have 160% min and 150% max, your min would be 150% while max is 160%. Which means neither of them have limits and they both give the same 10% boost unless you're hitting cap. I think in the long run, min crit is better.

it really doesn't matter until you're hitting cap some of the time (but not ALL of the time). if you are hitting cap damage only some times, then min crit is better. base crit damage is 120% - 150%. if you add to either, it will still average out to be the same

Oooh, i've been thinking about this too.

i would pick min crit damage increase, cuz it would make crits more stable.

Either or, really. If your minimum critical is the same as your max crit then get more max crit.
