Critical Ring vs Resistance Ring (+3 WATK/MATK/All Stats)

Hey everyone, I've been busy and I haven't really been keeping up with Maplestory, but I noticed that the Big Bang patch is coming soon. Basically, I have a Spearman from the Explorer Ring event because I intended to eventually make one. I ended up getting the Critical Ring and then I took a long break from Maplestory. Now with Big Bang coming, I was wondering if it's more beneficial to transfer that Critical Ring to a Mechanic or Wild Hunter (2 other characters I may want to try), or is it better to keep it on the Spearman? Essentially, which class benefits more from the Critical Ring? Which class suffers minimally from having a Resistance Ring over the Critical Ring? I also don't really like my Spearman's name so if I transfer the ring I'd most likely try making an Ultimate Adventurer with a new name, and then transfer the Resistance Ring over. In short, should I keep the Critical Ring on the Spearman, or transfer it and make a new Ultimate Adventurer Spearman? Essentially, which class benefits the most from having a Critical Ring? Which class suffer the least from having the Resistance Ring instead? Thank you for the insight!

It's really more about which character you'd want to be the strongest since it won't make a big difference which class you are.

[/quote] I'll probably be playing on all the characters for fun. However, I'm just wondering which of them benefit the least from the Critical Ring so I can give it to the right character.

The one with the most hits would have the highest chance of triggering the instant death effect, as well as criticals. So Mechanic or Wild Hunter would work...I would do mechanic though since they have the 100% crit rate skill. Imagine stacking that with your ring's crit :D

I also read that Critical Ring benefits DK more because the new system is Critical is multiplied, not added. Then Bezerk already giving a boost, plus DK's new inherit critical rate +10% on top of that, multiplied by a DK's already Zerk boosted attack yields the largest return from Critical. I could have misinterpreted what I was reading, though.

Jvlaple : Oh it's no longer additive...I meant the % damage from the critical (10% chance for 10% more) would stack 100% of the time with that skill. But now that its multiplied I'll have to suggest a drk :D

I'm leaning towards DK too. I'll wait for a confirmation of this though. Thanks!
