So I have recently geared my Blm up to a point where i'm happy with it, just wondering if Witch sash and Wise Strap would beat out +4 int I gain over it from Congnition belt and Bugards +1.

Gear Set in profile if anyone would care to enlighten me

thanks alot for quick response Dasva, 13% Magic crit hit rate just peaked my curiosity, so much so I made my first AH post lol
Didnt seem worth testing for 1.5m

magic crit is only +10 mab. So those 2 peices are 5% to crit hit rate which means you would have an average of +.5 MAB.

Not sure about the gloves. Most old peices add like 1 more mab to the critting. And I don't have +2 gloves to test myself

Does crit rate (for both melee/magic) have increasing or diminishing returns?

Fairly sure eradico were tested to be an extra 5 MAB on crits so I'd imagine Goetia +2 are are least that which would make Wise strap .45 MAB on average which I think beats bugard +1. Especially considering we're usually at the dINT cap these days.

Decreasing and decreasing. Pretty much any stat that actually increases what you are doing has ddinminshing returns.

Haste/DW/MA has increasing because you are really lowering delay.

The flat amount of damage increase does not increase or diminish. The percentage increase diminishes (due to the baseline damage increasing from previous crit rate bonuses).

edit: basically what dasva said

Gotcha, been entertaining the idea of Mcrit and Mcrit dmg builds, but my suspicions of uselessness seem to be right. Thanks for the input
