They're going to nerf crit

Surely a better thing to do than nerf crit would be to buff RT/other non-crit options?

(Please? Then maybe I can use my RT 2h flicker striker again...)

Could be achieved by introducing something like Cadence (from Grim Dawn), gated by the RT passive, that gives an additional 50% damage every 3rd attack or something?

I think RT has some intrinsic benefits that are consistently overlooked, Flicker Strike not missing certainly is one of them (missing on a skill w/ CD sucks).

Other benefits include predictable leech/LGoH and I've heard it helps w/ desync issues for some (No idea since I rarely experience game-breaking desync).

The one thing I think RT should never do is rival crit builds in DPS. Crit builds tend to require a lot of investment both in passives and expensive equipment, and typically at the cost of being paper thin. RT builds can get quite tanky considering their placement on the tree.

Gating other passives has been brought up though and I personally have always liked the idea (as long as they are not damage enhancing to the point of rivaling critical builds).

Something like:

[RT]->[+20 Strength]->[Elemental Status Effects have 50% increased duration]->[+10 Mana Gained on Hit]->[50% Chance to gain a flask charge on hit/300% More Flask Charge Cost/300% More Charges Available on Flasks]->[Soul Inquisitor Keystone: 1% of Life and ES Gained on Hit with Melee Attacks/5% of Mana Used on Hit]

Would look like a wheel but with only one direction available (clockwise or counterclockwise).

inb4 all the qq when they add crit immune bosses and crit resistant mobs.

I would love that. We have crit damage mobs anyways, why not crit immune or resistant?
