Wow, this was hotly contested. I had signed out of it (was just getting too argumentative for me) but then something occured to me.
I was jacked off that it was such a pissy power when compared to some of the alternatives. I didnt like that it wasnt nearly as potents as more cheesy builds could offer. Someone did rightly point out that the sum of a PP is its whole, not one ability. Still left a bitter taste in my mouth that cheese builds (especially student of caiphon...just how many avenger/warlocks are there people!! Play a theme for $&*# sake) offered crit ratings that were so much (a full 8% for just a 19) better.
But ya know something that is crackerjack out this ability. If you can summon the stats to get weapon mastery (i.e. sacrifice some dex to stack strength) or use a jagged weapon...this stacks with it. In fact, its the only example of a crit chance increase that does (which I know of).
Put the whole debate aside (because the point of having raised it in the first place was to address the inherent weakness of this ability) and remember, this might not offer much crit rating, but it stacks. So, its not really as bad as I thought it in the first place. If you dont get your crit rating down by other means, and therefore have nothing to stack against, it remains piss weak (an extra crit every 44 rounds in ideal circumstances) but given I would be willing to make the strength sacrifice required to get weapon mastery, this is looking alot better.
