Calling all Maplers! The Tempest Approaches!

The Aria change is a loss, but I think the worse loss is from lowering Crit Rate from 50 to 30 in Piercing Vision.

I agree with that. That's why an integral part of my preparation for this nerf (unfortunately) includes aiming for 30% critical from Aswan, aiming for LUK% + DSE on my RHC Gloves and preparing a Marksman during the second Archer Revamp as it'd bring my total to 5% + 10% + 10% from Explorer Ring + 30% IA + 10% DSE + 30% Piercing Vision + 3% MM bonus= 98% critical. I figure Judgement Draw's extra critical rate (10 % > 20% after the nerf) should cover for the missing 2% most of the time and you can get 10% critical from your Hyper Skill at level 198 so you'd be maxing out at 100% at level 200.

As for why I'm not counting on Sharp Eyes, my current damage range isn't so high that I can forego Rapid Fire on bosses easily. The extra boost on critical damage on normal SE is good though.
