A level 50 Utghar barb with 60 base Concentration has crit-chance of 17.1% or 17.2% (I think).

In testing, the difference is so minuscule that it's still almost not even worth it. Whereas in testing 5str and 5const difference for a warrior matter a lot.

But what we still don't see is a spell-focus rating in the character window. Show that value in the character window and I think weight Concentration a little more heavily towards hit-chance, crit-chance and spell focus (so the +5 makes up for Nordo's loss of base 5str and 5const), because right now the 5 extra base conc seem to make no difference at all.

I originally picked Nordo because I wanted to make a well-rounded barbarian, one with a good mix in base stats, core foundation and versatility.

I think Concentration, for all classes, should be weighted a little more per added point.

Thanks.

17.5%!

My barb has 60 points of concentration and i have a 14.2 crit chance O_o.
