This whole argument of it being 25 raw stat points completely ignores one crucial fact about how the stats line up: it's not 25 points of a premium stat. It's 25 points of stats that people only go if they're going crit, need light/lightning attack, or have a rare weapon scaling, or are willing to gimp some of their other stats in the hopes of not dying to crits. That's also why crit chance is disadvantaged in the stat line-up.

.5 crit per point of SKI is LITERALLY just free crit. That's not a stat investment-- you HAVE to have skill to be a basic attacker (or to play the game, really). You also get free crit from your weapon, and the means to increase this further with parts. (to a point where you're easily overshadowing what boneheart gives through the weapon choice alone, mind you.) Meanwhile, there are very few builds that would consider that crit evade to be 'free' for their investment comparatively.
