    How do these two stats affect play as a wizard? How are they relevant to combat? What should Recovery be around 95, with let's say, Steward gear?

    recovery can be capped with AA and a bard and is important to have around 80% or so, specially for fiery blast.

    critical bonus very important for a wizard as it increases damage exponentially since it stacks with potency and other modifiers. critical bonus also increases proc group proc damage such as potm, pom, arias and the list goes on. some procs are also increased by potency but there aren't as many and those are affected by both anyhow so critical bonus is again important. some don't rate critical bonus as high on the importance list because it does not affect manaburn but that's non-sense.

    Thanks a lot.

    I've gotten a lot of contradictory information about both stats, and am not totally sure what the deal was with either.
