What rings should I wear?

currently, I have evol 1,2,3. legendary gracias, and dark angelic blessing.
the evol 1, 3, and dark angelic are for sure take up the 3 slots.
so the last dilemma is.
choose gracias for 5% crits and lose about 200 damage range.
evol for +5speed +2 jump and 200 damage. (I have haste)
I have 46% crits without gracias.
so, is 5% crits better than 200 damage range?

it's actually called the gratias ring

I would say the 200 damage is more worth it.

It's a good thing I had the old crusader's ring... that gives +2% EXP. EXP>>DMG anytime.

You severely underestimate 5% Crit.

That's a bit contradictory, because more damage = faster killings = more EXP:HR

The simple question to ask, then, is: Is 200 damage going to reduce your killing time by 2% on average (when bossing)? In other words, is 200 damage 2% of your overall damage output?

If I 1HKO my mobs or do PQs for most of my levelling, then no I don't need damage. And more often than not, I 2HKO mobs, and 200 damage is not going to make me 1HKO them anytime soon. It really depends on the player. I do have >10k range so if I have 200 more base damage, I'm increasing my average EXP gain by less than 2% if I boss. If anything, for the purposes of levelling, +%EXP is the final "damage" multiplier that is better than +%DMG, which is better than +%M/ATT, which is better than +%Stat etc.. But I don't boss because my connection is rather unstable for that purpose. Makes the EXP Pendant thing quite annoying too, amongst others.

Also, 5% crit is better than 200 damage if you have more than 13268 average base damage.

Spoiler

Let x be your average base damage. To compare average damage output, compare LHS (increase in 200 base damage) with RHS (5% increase in crit chance).

(1 + 0.46*0.35)(x + 200) < (1 + (0.46+0.05)*0.35)x(1 + 0.46*0.35)x + 200(1 + 0.46*0.35) < (1 + 0.46*0.35)x + 0.05*0.35*x
200(1 + 0.46*0.35) < 0.05*0.35*x
x > 200(1 + 0.46*0.35) / (0.05*0.35)
x > 13268.57

Not really underestimating, just for other classes maybe. Its the very reason why I use a Explorers Crit ring over the gratias ring on my Bowmaster. That, and the HP of course.

Love my explorer's magical ring. But I'm too poor to get anything else... can't even purchase an AB recipe...
