Ok, my friend is going to give me his +4Storm*Kat. Should I trade it in at the BS for the Storm*Spirit which gives a measly 24 to Critical. Would the extra 25% health be better than the extra 24 to Critical?
I don't want to upgrade at the BS of Mammon since I don't want to lose the enchants.

Thanks in advance!
What class are you? Do you party or solo more? If you can maintain HP through buffs/skills/party then the +Crit is better than 25% hp. (Even if it is just +24)
The 2% haste on your only other option isn't much better. But it is an option. (Usually the added damage per/time is pretty close for the haste SA's as it is for the +Crit SA's...) If you don't get the Focus/Death Whisper buffs that often, but use those swift attack pots a lot, the haste SA does stack on top and can make your atk.spd that much nicer. (SS use inches up a bit though compared to others if you party though, so Focus is better there. You will also usually get the crit buffs then also.)
admiral_ju00 got it right, I am going to be a BD, eventually. I knew I forgot to mention something. I was being rushed when I wrote it.
So I'll trade in the Storm*Kat for Storm*Spirit. Dang, I wish that the Spirit Sword wasn't so plain, which makes it ugly in my opinion.
I personally love + atk speed...but thats just a option in A/g rather then B or C.
till you get to A/g I'd say use ++ crt...cause the dmg would help to lvl you faster and the kills would be faster with crting more then with atking faster.
I'm personally testing the faster atk speed. but thats just my play style I love the fast atking.
If you want to equip a dwarf with duals if you get anything else then crit then it's your loss, becose even blunt will be more damage then the duals.
no duels with health would still output more damage than a blunt with health
i done a trial with +0 kesh*kesh vs +1 meteor shower with focus and the duels done more damage
The 2% haste on your only other option isn't much better. But it is an option. (Usually the added damage per/time is pretty close for the haste SA's as it is for the +Crit SA's...)
as long as their % increases is similar (most weaps with both focus and haste SA is very similar) then haste outperforms focus, in terms of damage over time, as long as your criticals has normal power (ie double damage)
Once you get any sort of crit buff (eg your bd dance) focus > haste
Also, haste makes leveling cost more, since you spend more ss
Never go haste !
edit: heck, focus weapons is SO powerful that with BD dance, death whisper, warlock buff and one of the prophecies, Greatsword/focus outdamages dragonslayer....lol
