[censored], I derailed the thread.
I would guess that the extra 5% critical chance allows for slightly more stable damage, and thus leads to higher average DPM over the cruel ring. However, I really can't number crunch even if my life depended on it.
Now that I think about it, considering how Shadow Partner works, I would think that Night Lords would prioritize higher critical rate over critical damage.

I heard many people mentioning that the Critical Ring is better that Cruel Ring for attackers that already have Critical Shot / Throw. As both of the Rings seems to be similar to be, 1 with 1 WA higher, dealing 20% extra damage with 5% chance, while the other dealing only 10% extra damage but with twice the chance of 10%. May I just ask how is it that it is true for Critical Ring to be better? >< Like is there any calculation done to determine that?
