Why the Cruel ring?

Why would anybody choose +1 w.att over an extra 5% crit? +1 w.att is easily found in gloves, weps, shoes, etc. When in the world will you get another item giving you a chance to crit? People say that the Cruel Ring's critical damage is 20%, while the Critical Ring's damage is only 10%. I viewed both items in game, and nowhere on the effect list does it say the damage bonus from critical hits. I've been reading things on other forums saying that any class that doesn't already use critical damage should get a Cruel, but why? And why is it suggested that a Buccaneer chooses a Cruel Ring? I'm almost 50 on my new adventurer and I must decide which ring my Buccaneer will benefit more from. Please help me out, thanks.

You dont have to listen to them. The calculations are all theoretical.

Critical Ring is better for every non-mage class, if you ask me. Especially with every class getting updated with innate critical in a few months.

I got Magical, cause well, im a mage, and i can already basically 1/2hit everything besides some high level bosses, so i dont really need the 1% chance instant.

Did you see the KMST revamp skills tho? Pirates will have crit in their attacks when it ever comes to GMS

5% at 20% dmg is the same damage as 10% at 10% dmg. So, the 1 att makes the difference. However, this is not true for people with inherent critical skills. For them, the stacked critical rates make Critical ring better.
