Cr is more important than Sp

    No amount of CR or SP is gonna make a bad player a good one. But it definitely makes a good player an even better one.

    The tips that the Devs put up say otherwise. Both are equally important, because they both affect how effective you are. You get critical innates with SP that stack with the ones for gear, improving your crit %. If you can't spec into all of your innates by T6, you're not very effective at your role.

    I wish they wouldn't have killed off all lower tiered Marks or put RBs in the game. People ran content for feats and rewards, now it seems people just want to gear up and say they're beast players. When T6 dropped, there were a lot of DPSs that had 103 CR and not enough SP for WM, which led to DPS stacking. Low SP players hurt the group, that has been shown time and time again. It's sad when I'm in Healer Role that I beat DPSs in my tier or am within 20K of their damage. When I DPS ,I normally do 3.5x or more damage more than the closest support role.

    One thing ive noticed, people with low skill points always try to argue how they dont matter.

    BUT how would you know they dont matter if you have low skill points?

    Thats like someone saying being tall sucks but theyve been short theyre whole life. how would you know the experience?


    You notice people with sufficient skill points say they matter because theyve experienced having low skill points and having a sufficient amount. You only know one side of the equation.

    Well , look at it like this you can jump from prime riad , to raven gear , anB ,t6 solo ,t6 duo all in day n go from 73 cr to 100+ as far as grinding for SP good luck there couple of months of work. see so if you have the sp its easy working on getting up there but if you got no sp good luck come back when u know what your doing after months of grinding cuz rememeber not all feats can be replayed with bagdes some just have to wait for reset. so run some one up in day OR waste replay bagdes n grind for months .see man your way just doesnt work sorry bro everyone wrong once n while

    Skill points matter to a point. Of course the more skill points you have, the better advantage, but it isn't the be all that people are making out.

    I'll take that bet, I will bet higher CR wins. Simply because Skill points give you an advantage, but CR gives you better gear. Skill points give you a slight advantage, its minimal, and only noticeable in players of equal skill.

    Skill points matter, they do, but not to the extent that everyone is making out. I would say only the top players notice the differences, everyone else are just nitpicking.

    That 100 CR person is practically guaranteed to crit every other hit if they spec right. I have 152 SP and beat DPSs in my tier in damage at times while running Healer Role.

    i do, and most of my league.

    But by you saying that youve just proved Skill points matter.

    I know quite a few people with 170 or more on USPS, there are a few with over 190 as well. I was actually one of the lower ones with 152.

    I bet you don't, and I would also bet most of your league don't. Screen shots and prove me wrong.

    I also said SP do matter, but not the extent that players like you would have others believe.

    I'm still not even sure where one thought begins and one ends...but at least you attempted some punctuation. n_n;;

    What and how many feats require you to wait for reset? A majority? Most likely not.
    From what I understood of your post, you didn't exactly prove any points you tried to make. You stated it takes more time to get SP than CR, then claimed it's easy working on "getting up there" if you have the SP. But you didn't really prove how having the CR makes it not easy getting up there, especially when your first sentence was you claiming you can get to T6 all in a day. It would take the same amount of time to get both CR and SP, but the orders would be different. However, grinding for SP first won't help that person to be able to queue up in end game content faster, and that's the part I care about. A player has say 170 SP and they're still only 60 CR. How's that going to help me when I want to run T6 stuff? Lastly, you didn't really give a reason for why "my way" doesn't work. You just said it. If you're going to say I'm wrong, then back it up with relevant facts and reasoning. lol

    yeah guess what, it's the devs that said some content will require you to have a lot of SP and CR, not the players.

    Kind of expected that reaction. I am not saying SP don't matter, I am saying they are not as big an issue as many people are making them out to be.
