OK. This is just a random aside, but it'sbeen bothering me for awhile now.
STR (main scaling) weapons got +CRIT equal to 0.4 crit per 1 scaled strength. This is all well and good, except there is a small discrepancy that I really think should be looked at (or at least adjusted).
There are a lot of weapons that have some part strength scaling, that would benefit from.. actually having crit (and they're basic attack weapons, no less). Balrog is a primary example of this, where it wants to crit-- but doesn't actually have the support to crit unless you're dumping a TON of luck, strength, wil, and ski.. and then you'll want guile to augment the crit damage.
My solution is really just.. Have strength, uniformly, augment crit by 0.4:1 scaled strength.
The following weapons will see the most benefit with this change, with me putting bold emphasis on specific weapons that either have some kind of On Hit/Crit.
Tarnell
Firthrower
Shotgun Tonfa
Holy Word
Hikage
Ninshi Shuriken
Red Letter
Balrog
Fire Tome line
Forgrint
Grandovyn
Rexys
Manic Slasher
Zhuquelar
All of these weapons have some portion of STR scaling, and also all benefit from Mastery of Weapon Arts to enhance their SWA... but then they are all having to build an exorbinant amount of luck to actually basic attack and crit with them.
On a character not building strength outside of Apt, they are liable to land in the 14~20 range, depending on a few factors. So on average, crit will go up by about 5.6~8 for everyone, with specific use cases (People building 40~50 strength) getting an extra 16~20 crit.
Ultimately, I think it would be a fantastic change, to help open up build viability-- just like strength crit did on launch for almost every single physical weapon that required Strength.
