As you can see, the epic is a major upgrade from this blue.
Also something to note, assuming you only had 1% chance to crit, yes that would mean you only crit once every hundred times you attack. But think about how many attacks you make. Since I'm a hunter, I get an easy way to count since I use ammo. In an average instance run, I tend to take 500-700 shots with arrows, plus another 200-300 with special shots of various sorts. Rogues with their attack speed and dual weapons attack MUCH more frequently, so that 1% starts to play in. It makes a pretty significant DPS difference once you start collecting +crit gear. My ranged crit % is up around 17% right now and I'm not even halfway through collecting the crit gear from DM.

My crit rate right now is.. on a 49 Rogue with a shitload of agi (I'll get the exact #'s later).. 22 or 23%. I'm sure that'll go up as I level 11 more times and get the next best gear but.. yeah, it's quite high already.
I'll end up changing my rogue to specialize in subtlety as opposed to straight up combat because I notice more and more that THAT is my play style as opposed to straight up melee..
Yeah that 1% is better than nothing, I guess, but no way I'd spend godly amounts of time searching for it. If it drops then, good stuff. If not, no biggie. No skin off my back.. and I'm certainly not gonna shell out hundreds of gold for it
In other words.. I could duel someone with all these epic items without me having a single one, and chances are it'd be equal because of those trivial boosts. That 1% isn't enough to save em when they're getting pounded on in the spur of the moment battles, but it is a nice boost overall statistically if you think "hey, over these 10 instances, i attacked 2000 times and had x amount more crits".
...but yeah, I see what you're saying.
I did look over all of the epic rogue drops and I was pretty disappointed. Not much to look forward to. No doubt it's nice gear, but like I said.. nothing I'd spend hours upon hours trying to acquire.
What they need is an ultra difficult instance.. I'm talking one that's insanely tough, almost impossible to beat, and when you do, you get a chance to have a godly item drop that will give you something like 10% crit boost.
That'd be nice and totally something I'd spend hours upon hours trying to get.
