Crit vs Non crit

I'm about as sick of these threads as anyone, but I must sasy what seems so ridiculously obvious to me.

Those who go crit, get more offense and less defense. (DPS)
Those who don't, get more defense and less offense. (block/evasion/dodge/Life&ES Pool)

Why is this so difficult to accept?!

nice,crit post again.

Reading the title of this thread one must ask:
Why is there ANOTHER thread?

Because, I decided to give voice to my opinion and whoever has a problem with that is more than welcome to leave this thread.

Fun stuff. But untrue.

One has enough points to get phase acro, lots of block and life AND pretty much all crit nodes one needs.

So not going crit currently is just being stubborn as the drawback to going so is null.

Based on my experience this is untrue. I have a level 92 RT ranger with full block/spell block/dodge and evasion using a 1h sword. I was able to grab a few sword damage nodes which are not nearly enough to make going crit an option, much less a viable one.
However, im pretty much untouchable.

And by the way that build kicks the asses of many perfectly geared crit dagger builds.

Maxing defences is a futile excercise. Goal is to have 'enough'. And bow characters pretty much do not need any defences besides ondars (reflect) and uber damage. Dps is defense too.

As one can see you can kill atziri with 1hp.

But getting to her is way way faster with crit and high movement speed. RT builds are cool etc but please dont compare it with dagger/bow/crit as everybody know what is better and easier to do properly.
