Manastone Build

Legionary Class : Gladiator

Im going for the Hp and Phys Crit just wonderin what everyone else is going for.

Legionary Class : Templar

As a Templar right now I am going for Def and HP. Later on in the endgame I will probably have two sets when the second one will be focus more toward demage dealing.

Legionary Class : Sorceror

I've gone crit, crit and more crit. I'll continue to do that until I'm either at or close to the soft cap of 450. At that point I'll either start stacking hp or attack (probably the latter).

I don't find myself suffering against mobs through lack of defence. Against solo players I believe my ability to crit knockdown will be my greatest asset ultimately, and in group pvp I'm not a squishy enough class to be chosen as an easy target anyway.

So far (lvl 27) I've stacked up to about 110 crit rate (so 11% or so). Even now I'm critting quite a lot, inflicting some pretty crazy damage (especially when I get multiple consecutive crits) and frequently getting knockdowns from regular moves and auto attacks.

Centurion Class : Gladiator

So far I've gone about 80% crit vs 20% Attack stones. Mainly +8 crit stones and +2 attack. Crit is nice ofc, but with slightly higher +attack your crits have more of an impact, and because crits will always be a chance having +att isn't so bad because you will always benefit from it.

Legionary Class : Sorceror

True as your point is, there's no point stacking small amounts of attack, since you'll get more than that by just enchanting your weapon anyway (+1,+2 etc.). I'd say either stack attack totally, or ignore it until there's no other option.

But now let's talk proportional gain. Going up 8 crit rate is nearly a %, which given your base crit rate, is a significant proportional gain (for me it'd still be around a 8% or 9% gain on what I have, even having stacked crit on all my existing gear). The attack on my greatsword is in the 170 region, making +2 a gain of more like 1.2% on my attack power. Pretty clear which is better I'd say (assuming my maths is even close to correct).

Also, proportional gain helps later on too. Crit rate gives bonus damage as a proportion of what you currently do. This means as the weapon you use gets better and better, the bonus gained from crit gets better with it. Attack manastones add a small, set figure, meaning as your weapon gets better and better, the same manastone in fact gives you a WORSE proportional gain.

When we add in the fact that critical hits on two handed weapons proc knockdowns, there is even more benefit to adding critical chance.

PvP Leader Class : Sorcerer

I don't see any point to stack HP as templar or gladiator, you already have plenty of it. Going for crit and attack sounds most reasonable:)

Centurion Class : Gladiator

Basically, I have 11 +8 crit stones, and 4 +2 attack stones. While I will replace roughly 2 of them +attack stones (I used what I had... bad option but bleh) I still stick by the fact that a loss of some % crit is worth the extra dmg you do when you crit (not to mention, when you don't crit, you still benefit from the small amount of +attack).

I guess it is all down to personal preferance.
