  I have Critical hits at rank F. Will it screw up my evie?

  Absolutely not.

  No it won't, but don't rank it further.

  Sorry guys but I also have a question. Before I saw this guide, I ranked critical hit to E because it goes up like 10 %. I thought that would be beneficial until I saw this. Did I screw up my evie?

  Just don't rank it anymore, you can't really take back the 30AP you spent on it. Either way, ranking it up one rank won't screw you up THAT much. Probably just a tiny bit.

  I've maxed Crit, and I really don't see the negative side to it. If it activates then either I 1 shot it, or it just gets knocked back. It's not like the mob flies across the entire map.
  
  If it matters I'm lvl 44 with max str, crit, and combat mastery (all the other important stuff are maxed already)

  So, it didn't affect my damage at all at rank F? Thx

  Oh lol. If I didn't quote you, I wouldn't know you were joking.
  
  Seriously though, it seems more useful than people make it out to be. Most boss fights just consist of the boss being down either from crit, BT, or my golem.

  How do I get my M.Att up? everyone is 400 more, even though I usually have more intelligence than them.

  Stop trying to confuse people... ranking Critical Hit is bad. It's not so bad that you should remake, but it's bad enough that you shouldn't want it.

  After re-reading your description of why not to max it, I do understand where you are coming from, but I just don't really see "The physical component of your smash crits, the crit causes the mob to fly away and the major part of damage (magical) misses" happen. On top of that, I believe that it might be useful in the later boats (6+) mainly because you want to get the mobs away. For example these mobs that come along with EP8

  Unlike the current mobs, these mobs don't flinch when hit, so they literally swarm you to death. In which case, "It's good on mobs that either don't flinch or can't get knocked away."
  
  "2. The battle against Inkells has most part of it's difficulty based on the adds that spawn throughout the fight. What makes these adds more irritating is that the majority of the mobs have 'super armor' [meaning they don't flinch] because of that, skills that have been considered useless have raised in value [Evie 'turtle leg'. DK 'slow', Pally 'petrify']" - afk http://www.vindictushq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2898

  That's the same person that originally said ranking Critical Hit is a bad idea.
  
  Anyways, stop trying to come up with silly psuedo-logical reasons to rank it. I'm tired of explaining it...... just search the thread if you need it explained again.
• ilmura wrote on 2011-02-01 17:29
  I have read through the thread, and I am also well aware that afk was the one who advised against ranking Critical.
  
  I am just trying to discuss whether or not it will be useful in boat 8, or even have the potential to be useful. Afk made that post about critical in Nov, when they only had access to boat 6. Maybe things have changed? I am also NOT trying to "confuse" people. I don't think it's psuedo-logic if you are clearly saying that "It's good on mobs that either don't flinch or can't get knocked away". If anything, just remove that statement.
  
  Either way, I was just wondering because almost every Evie I know refuses to rank Crit. Therefore, there aren't many willing to attempt to disprove or even challenge what ONE person said by going out of their way to level an Evie then max Crit.
