Concetration and Critical Hits

Gideon_Slack · 07-17-2010, 09:01 AM

I am trying to increase damage on my fort wars hunter build. So far, putting points in Head of the Pack has helped a lot. So has Point Shot.

The general gossip on Horus though is that Concentration is a next to useless attribute. It is, however, supposed to increase your chances of critical hits.

My question is this: does increasing Concentration actually increase your chance of critical hits? And if so, is it worth it to put points in +Concentration passives (Omnipresent) and wear +Concentration equipment (Rings of Concentration)?

I think the difference is slight tbh, but it may very well be worth boosting it.
In the past i had my newb +5, 2x concentration rings on my barb and i got plenty of critticals.
But when strength bonus go lowered i decided to get damage rings to compensate a little.

I wouldnt sacrifice x2 Ring of the blacksmith on a hunter though, the passive might be nice, i guess it depends on what you are sacrificing.

I tryed to set my hunter with concentration passives (hunters have one more) but my result was not that good for the lost points you could use for other passives or powers which have better performance. Remember you have in long bows discipline the specific power to get more critical hit chance.
