    Because when a 2k+ crit hits, it's a beautiful thing to see. Unless you're on the end of it that is...

    I mean if you want crits I don't get why not just go full crit but whatever tickles your pickle.

    Since crit chance is not really a defining factor of a blast cannon(neither is range), you'd be wasting a goodly amount of damage for a chance to inflict it. I scrapped an epic "Reach" perk because I WANT that additional 4% that I get out of my raw damage rating.

    Now if you were a shooter main who wanted a oneslot gun which packs a huge punch by default, and an even bigger one sometimes, I'd have recommended you to take off the projectile speed leggy perk above all else.

    But you play yellow boats. Speed is an indispensable part of our career, heck, for most of us, it's the main reason why we play what we play. Reach? Reach is for the long rangers. Crit chance? That's for people who don't routinely duel. In close combat, my friend, nothing matters more than those little slivers of damage. 5% is laughable until your opponent walks away with 10 HP only to be healed by the enemy fixer seconds later. That is why crit chance is a good candidate for removal, at least in your case.

    I go full crit on my sniper, but I prefer the raw damage and event crit perks on my blasts for more reliable damage

    It's easy enough to do the rough math on my BC:

    1111 Base Damage with Epic Crit Perk
    1158 with Epic Damage Perk (+47)

    With the Epic Crit Perk there is an extra 4% chance of issuing 2222 damage which averages 44 HP per shot spread out over all your shots.

    So the trade-off for a few HP less per shot is the ability to crit kill 4x more often. I've won games due to a timely crit kill... the choice is yours.

    Doesn't all crit perks average out to be highest damage though? I don't remember the specific combo of crit chance and crit damage perks but it's pretty effective.

    In a duel, the "phantom damage" from crit chance perks is unreliable. And by Murphy's Laws of Combat, it ALWAYS seems to fail at those points. At the match start, when the fixer can heal that defender, EVERYONE can simulataneously crit that defender. But in that last 1v1 when the defender is one crit away from dying, the chance fails:(. Which is why it's not recommended for a duelist.
