I have no idea why Nexon decided to do that. But rings are a long-term decision, and I really don't want to mess up. After the revamp, since critical rings are losing their critical damage: Criticals appear to not matter as much. Because of this, is it more important to hit criticals more often, or to hit 20% higher critical damage with a 5% extra critical rate? And how did people know about the damage percentages, anyway?

Since no one knows how the new Critical system works, it's too early to call.

Well, apparently some people have a basic knowledge of how it works. I believe you have a chance of dealing 110-150% critical damage. So average critical damage would be 130% of the skill damage. I THINK a higher critical rate will still be better, but I have to be 100% sure.

I'm quite annoyed with this update, since i don't have the time to get both rings, i'll have to decide on either. If they decide to keep the critical on the crit rings, sure, i'll get it cause the critical overtakes the cruel. If they remove the crit from the crit rings, that will make absolutely no sense at all, and cruel ring would be the obvious choice.. If i get the weaker ring in the end, i'm sure to be pissed off.

Maybe they want crit rings to be useful only to those classes with base crit, only adding % chance.

They are removing Critical damage on the rings, meaning if you don't have a passive critical ability you don't do critical damage. But if your a bowman or NL you'll have a higher chance to do critical damage. Basically if you have a passive critical skill get the critical ring, if you don't pick the other rings.
