Summons critical.

Player Questions Started Last reply 5 posts
I just wanna know why summons critical is allways 40 in all it's lvls? I trully don't understand why it doesn't grow over the lvls, like us. and even more strange is see that even if you get a cirit buff on the summon the crit will go up to 50, and never more then that.
Off course i'm not expecting the summon be able to crit like an archer or dagger, but i was expecting that once the summon grow stronger, it's ability to critical also improve, not be stoped forever in the same point. It sounds stupid, lvl 1 kai has the same amount of crit of lvl 14 one...
It can get over 50, with song of hunter and cat buff in addition to focus, and whatever else you can get. I think max I've seen is crit rate of 110.

Edit: Missed a letter
The only player stats that grow over levels are the same stats that grow on a servitor: MAtk, PAtk, PDef, MDef, Accuracy and Evasion.

Player critical is not dependant on level beyond availability of graded gear (i.e. Drafocobow), neither is player attack speed, cast speed etc.

Until here, NCSoft's reasoning makes sense.

However, for all players, as they increase in levels, various ways to raise their 'unchangable' stats further become available. Servitors stats (attack speed, cast speed, critical) should increase by giving them a passive skill at the same boundary levels at which bonuses like the A Grade caster set become available to players as well.
yup crit rate is completely based on buffs/gear
focus effects ppl differently then what it does for summons
before i get into that i should prolly back up maline on this subject

there are just way too many ways to increase offense or defense on a PC compared to a summon
considering most true summoners (ill pretend im not one for now) consider the summon as an extension of themselves you would think that a summon would be able to equally benefit from all the cool stuff like boss jewles and armor and weapon SAs


heres what L2P has to say about crit buffs and summons (unverified but L2P is never wrong :P )


* With base Critical of 40
o Unbuffed:40
o Focus 1-3: 50
o Song of Hunter: 80
o Focus+Song of Hunter: 100
o Focus+Song of Hunter+Chant of Victory: 110
o Focus+Song of Hunter+Final Servitor: 110
o Focus+Song of Hunter+Blessing of Queen: 110

* With base Critical of 80
o Unbuffed: 80
o Focus: 110
o Focus+Song of Hunter+Chant of Victory: 220
o Focus+Song of Hunter+Final Servitor: 220
o Focus+Song of Hunter+Blessing of Queen: 220



for those uninformed 40 crit is the base crit rate of all summons except those belonging to necromancers
necro summons have 80 base crit and as you can see not only do they have a higher base crit rate to start with they also receive a much higher increase in the effect of crit buffs

also mechanic golem is the worst summon in game
nothing to do with this post but i just like reminding ppl of that fact
Isn't strange to see that the only summon with a higher base critical is one that comes from a class that isn't a summoner? C'mon NC when you guys discuss those stuffs you smoke what?
