But I'll say again, it's impossible to put crit chance on strength. Crit damage works because yeah stronger hits. But crit chance makes no sense, you're not going to be able to hit certain critical areas more easily with strength. And being strong enough to pierce through armor or whatever isn't what a critical strike is. That's just what damage is, something you obtain from strength already. Critical strikes come from skill and luck, being able to land a hit in a weak spot, or land an amazing hit by chance. We can't just slap crit chance on strength, and it would not even solve the true issue.

I don't understand the weird insistence on 'logic'. You can genuinely make an argument that critical chance allows you to puncture a vital area you otherwise wouldn't. You think you can crush a skull without strength or pierce through armor into an artery? It might be a slight leap in logic compared to more damage, I can agree; but saying absolute terms like 'Impossible' serves to only illustrate a lack of imagination and/or stubbornness in that regard. Besides, how is strength giving critical chance more 'impossible' than faith giving critical evade?

FAI/LUC being CEvade stats are not an issue in the slightest, stat investment should be rewarded. The issue is when non-stat sources of CEvade are significantly powerful for the slot they take. The biggest example, that we both agree on is Boneheart. Which amounts to a whole 25 stat points worth of CEvade investment. (Assuming you care only about the CEvade on said stat)

As for Strength having 0.5 crit chance not solving the issue... How? You're raising an average crit rate across the board, even builds utilizing non-STR scaling weapons would see an increase of 5-7% crit chance; which would make the barrier for completely denying crits even higher than before. Sure it won't be enough to stop people from building giant CEvade walls and denying them all together, especially in the case of weapons like guns which would need some tune up.

Adding more critical buffs to classes would certainly help, but the more buffs you need to rely on; the 'less' fun it feels (IMO) unless they're something akin to what Kensei just got with the recent changes. More upkeep to worry about often gets in the way of maintaining other buffs.

To be perfectly frank, it just seems like you hate the idea of STR = 0.5 Crit Chance rather than what it would do for the builds that would benefit from it.
