I am a storm and i see storm wizards and all they have is critical? really?
You need block!
unless you are going to 2v2 or 3v3 etc or whatever then you need block.Mobs and bosses critical these days and that's why you will die! It's true there is no point in having all this critical just to not block a critical and die in one hit

it's a trade-off: high damage, low everything else. if storm had high stats across the board, it would be overpowered and quite unfair to the other schools.

that being said, it all depends on how you build your wizard. a diviner with the right gear setup should not have a problem blocking critical hits~ as an example, i'll give you my stats:

sestiva stormblade
legendary (64)

health 2432
mana 524

damage +85
resist +27 universal
accuracy +25 storm, +14 universal
critical rating 130
block 68 universal
power pips +75
incoming heal +14

her block rating isn't great, but will be getting some new gear for her when she levels to 65.



-von/sestiva
legendary diviner of amazing amazingness.

I sort of agree for the newer worlds. My crit is at zero from avalon on because its useless to waste on it when every mob crit blocks like 90% of the time.
