Rot+ is great and I'll always sing its praises but holy heck it should not be necessary to be able to crit.
Metal greaves plus gives 10 cevade (canceling out rot+ crit) for no downside like rot has.
Mathematically, it's harder to build crit than evade too as there's only 1.5 crit stats (.5 from skill and 1 from lck) vs 1 cevade Stats (1 faith 1 luck).
The only thing that makes this manageable is due to skill being something you build regardless.
I shouldn't just be able to have 120 cevade for playing bk and putting 30 points in faith cause boneheart.
It's way past the 85-90 mark that makes critters life hell. That's the point where most literally cannot crit and its stupidly easy to get.
Even if it wasn't bk this would still be 105...
Also i think a lot of values here are wrong. Most str critters hover around 100-110 due to horrible stat efficiency and unwillingness to use rot (for good reason no matter how fun it is, it's a huge downside). So 85 to 90 cevade which is incredibly easy to achieve takes them to 20 to 30 instead which is cataclysmic.
Bows aren't even the ones struggling here, they're able to crit due to easily getting to 140 base, they have other problems. Martials are the ones with crit issues.
