From Rory at Reddit : Crit mechanics will change

"

It depends on your definition of dramatic, but changes are being made. Feedback has been helpful, as it has drawn attention to stuff that had slipped my mind!

This current tree change hasn't really been focused on improving the Critical meta, as I want to really improve Critical mechanics in a sweeping way in future; Sadly 1.3.0 didn't allow the time for a real review.

Let's enjoy crit while we can [Removed by Support]

''Improve'' seems cryptic really; Where will I_NO and every other god tier player go?

WHo?

Crit isnt a problem in any game the problem in POE is that crit chance is not capped lets say to 50 % and there is way to much Crit multi 90% crit and 800 % crit multi for many builds makes is broken , its basicly 900 % more damage

I'm afraid of sweeping improvements from GGG balance team. Call it paranoia or negativism, if you wish.

too many mechanics depend on crit%
the only way to fix crit is

- make elemental status proc 50% of chance to trigger
- make crit multiplier capped

Give them players some options to not build crit and its fine, the main prob with crit is its hyperscaling with everything into the late game, when Physical dmg, AS und Accuracy ( RT) is linear scaling. so everything else needs to be slightly buffed, maybe ele DMG without crit or something, or RT buffs your phys dmg or gives you + phys dmg, but right now its just crit is the best cuz its scaling is so good, everything else istn scaling that well so, why build something else then crit to push your dmg.


Maybe crit is too strong right now so it nedds maybe a small nerf and other options need a buff, but just nerfing crit is toxic to this game. Its the same mechanix like in D3 critmulti is super strong and the reason is obvious max dmg for min input. Was the same at release before +IAS was nerfed like shit, IAS > Crit, GGG will have to find something between and buff non crit Builds, to give some real options but nerfing wont fix anything it just ruins the game.

This is what I was thinking, they kill crit and any build build around CoC or status affects is fucked...I liked this game cause they didn't limit you on attack speed and crit, its fun as fuck to do 12-15 attacks per second, and on crit chars see how high you can crank your dmg and obliterate things...its the main selling point when im talking people into playing, they kill it there goes my enjoyment...My duelist is already ruined by the block nerf, I picked up block cause shit was hitting to hard even with grace converted to armour, especially the end game boss area...she its like a fucking freight train! fml
