So I've been playing my noob Yul moonlight sentinel and so far I've kept the old Rapid fire and Rapid Shot buffs over Mind's Eye and Quick Fire.
Reason - I've gone +15 DEX build with skill crit/skill power bow so now I have permanent 1500 atk speed and 500 crit rate, with the aim of PvP/AOE PvE rather than just hitting hard on raids.
Is it worth switching over or just keep like that?
I might switch to Ghost Sentinel later on, but still keep the skills.
Well maybe you have good pvp damage.. hmmm well regarding skill yes worth keeping the rapid fire than that awaken skill.. minds eye? If you are dex build i better take minds eye.. but at 101 minds eye is of no use... maybe go gs with that build but maybe try atleast 80 dex then rest str.. as my yul has 140 str 80 dex...
At the moment she's exactly 80 dex with +15 Dex dyes, Dex hat, Longing, stg 12 Venir (DE base race).
Mind's eye gives great regular crit dmg, but that's it. If I took mind's eye then I'd lose the old LE Rapid fire buff, which keeps me at permanent 1500 atk speed without putting any attack speed SA on my weapon.
Is Mind's eye that useful in PvE compared to skill damage, have people tested? Obviously skills > regular crits in PvP
I looked everywhere, Juji tests, etc and I still can't find a convincing answer of why to go DEX over STR. I must have developped a learning disability after graduating uni.
Anyway, I went STR on my GS. I kept Rapid Fire, learned Mind's Eye.
Looking for any info about why I should go DEX over STR, or vice versa. Convince me :-)

Thanks,
DEX increases skill critical chance, more base skill critical chance stacks with any buffs, augments or passives. More skill criticals = LOTS more burst damage. It's in your light armor passive description.

Ah yeah...
So I guess I should switch to DEX and Assasin type for my armor...****...I spent quite a bit on my STR dyes...Not lvl 5 legendaries since I'm on Zaken server...but still dissapointing.

So you are mixed dyes then? +dex and + str? Enchant or Assasins Type Armor?
Not mix.. i go straigt 30 legendary lv. 5 str dye.. its just that i have emerald 5.. insanity.. lindy.. +9 p.def shirt. Lvl 3 exalted.. exact figures are 143 str 81 dex...
Thats why i told you the basic set up for yul.. 140 str 80 dex..
It's still a linear curve, without diminishing returns for more dex. But you are correct, there is only a small increase on skill critical rate per dex enchant.
However STR doesn't add a massive amount to p.atk either, it will add some but not masses. I haven't done any experiments yet to test the Skill damage difference based on p.atk. Both Skill Crit and P.atk will scale with passives/augments/buffs, obviously p.atk will scale more as there is a lot more modifiers for it.

Ok. So I'll stick with my STR build and work on getting the other items for boost. On zaken we don't have all those extras yet ;) So my dex isn't near the 80 mark.
70 is quite fine coz as you can see onky something 2 or less than 3% is skill crit increase which is really absurd and nonvisible to be obvious.. lol... dont contain ur investment in dyes.. invest first and foremost if youre a dd in your weapon next is armor set then jewels with damage modifiers... next is your damage output modifiers.. i have 54k p.atk in my yul.. try to discover how.. hehehe...
