Question Regarding Resolute Technique

Alright so my level 77 nemesis scion is a dex character.

I've never picked up any accuracy nodes and I have about 336 dex but my accuracy is 1129 with a 6.6% chance to crit, vs Vs Level 77 monsters I have a 25% chance to miss or so, which I guess is basically a 25% dps loss.

I't would take me 4 points to reach resolute technique.

Should I just take it? I don't feel like there's any way having such a large miss chance could be negated in any other way. Even if I took all 4 points and put them in accuracy nodes.

Generally when you don't build for crit, you take RT (or Kongor, Lioneye's Glare etc...). Stacking accuracy at end game without crit is too much effort for the gain.

So yeah, based on what you posted, take it.

Can you post your passive tree?

RT is probably a good choice, from first impressions.

My current passive tree.

Interesting. You're in the right part of the tree if you wanted to grab a couple of accuracy nodes and crit, but you're so far developed at this point that I'd agree RT is the best.

Right now you have 20% accuracy from your tree (all from finesse), and that's all. Just seems a shame to have a dex-character getting RT. Seems like a little bit of a waste.

That's what I'm saying. Whats the point of all this dex if I still can't hit anything? I'm absoloutly SURROUNDED by a lot of meaty accuracy nodes, but it all doesn't matter because even if I used my next 8 points for accuracy nodes I bet getting resolute technique in 4 would still be better.

I think a dex build (that will actually use its dex) must also pursue some amount of crit if it is going to make the most use of the accuracy benefits.

If you don't intend to get some crit, you should pretty much always get RT. If you get RT, you don't need all that dex. So, if you don't intend to go crit, you don't need all that dex.

If you want to make the best use of the dex, you need some investment in crit.

Based on what you have right now, and the lack of remaining points, RT would be the best choice in my opinion.

how did you get that 25% dps loss ? you should have aprox 84% chance to hit mob of equal level.
Obviously if you have no crit and can get RT you should take it ... but why you are even there? You are so spread with that tree :/

Actually, with a 75% chance to hit, if you get a ton of crit nodes you can easily do double what you would gain from RT.

Crits start off with doing 150% of your damage, a bonus of 50%. Crit multipliers quickly add up and you can easily do about three times your damage. Even if you crit just 25% of the time, you've more than made up for the 25% of times you miss.

100% chance to deal 100% damage = 400% damage in four hits.

75% chance to deal 100% damage, with 25% chance to deal, say, 300% damage = 500% damage in four hits.

However, the disadvantage to going crit is the fact that you may miss attacks. This means leeching and gains on hit do not apply. This makes RT much stronger.

On the other hand, crits allow you to do insane damage that can kill things before you need to leech, making RT and leeching less worthwhile.

Basically more of a playstyle preference instead of what is best for your build.

Just realized, you went Blood Magic but forgot the passive node behind it that makes auras much easier to use if you have any.

I play nemesis so I can't justify sacrificing so much HP, although with my build Anger or Wrath gives me a significant amount of DPS so it would be nice if I could run an aura, but I can't justify loosing so much health.
