Difference between Accuracy and "hits can't be evaded"???

If the mod is not exclusive to hits with TS for some reason... sure.

Thanks for the reply. I don't get why the fact that the mod is exclusive to hits is an issue ? Most of melee skills if not all hits, or i'm missing something ?

Far shot is op. 30% more damage? Playing a zerker you get 70% more.

I would aim for over 90% Chance to Hit any day. With 'just' 90% Chance to Hit, you're looking at missing 10% of your Crits outright, and another 10% Crits are downgraded to normal Hits instead (and thus won't trigger Cast on Crit). Hits Cannot be Evaded negates both of these 'misses'; that's why Lycosidae is so dang expensive. Still, 92-93% chance to Hit is fine as well.

Having played dozens of non RT melee builds, I cannot even remember missing an attack after act 1 (your level 7 marauder will surely miss some swings). 85% chance to hit? Feels and plays like 100%, unless you run into...

Shrouded shrine/bloodline/nemesis - very rare, maybe takes a second swing.
Blinding monsters - their blind has a long "wind up", they blow up before applying it.
Enfeeble - multi-use warding flask, you should use one no matter what your build is.

But none of these pose any danger.

And the tradeoff ("kill the occasional shrouded monster a bit slower" vs "kill all bosses twice as fast") still favors crit by a large margin.

more or less ignore Zakaluka; although they're right that RT takes away a single source of scaling damage, with crit multi, they're way off base in declaring it to be a non-endgame strategy.

I didn't read the post as "declaring it to be a non-endgame strategy".

But taking RT means something like "I'm fine dealing half the damage I could deal."
Which is perfectly viable for all non-boss content. Damage scaling in this game is through the roof, even RT damage trivializes normal mobs.
Against some bosses, it is not.
It is way better to just blow them up than to deal with their mechanics.

And you should make sure that that you get something in return for saving the crit affixes and passives. Something like max block/spellblock.

That you don't notice missing doesn't mean you aren't missing.

Broadly speaking, whether or not you go crit depends on whether the skill is strong enough not to. Many melee skills are currently strong enough to RT and spend those resources on not dying.

Practically every melee near the top of the abyss HC is RT or uses lycosidae. Not missing is an extraordinary dps gain, and to go crit requires accuracy, crit chance and crit multiplier.

There's no doubt that crit has a higher dps ceiling, but getting the gear to make it a worthwhile trade-off isn't all that easy. That you don't notice missing doesn't mean you aren't missing.

Take one final step once you've gotten to late endgame content, decide whether you'll be better off respeccing into crit. Everyone should at least consider it. Once you take crit you probably want to give up the lycosidae, but someone might correct me here.

Most late RT builds have a plausible respec into crit that grants quite a lot of extra DPS. You might be surprised, it doesn't take much. It takes accuracy on a few rares (these can be expensive) and a 10 passive swing or so.

But, being crit at all herds you into a couple specific builds. Like, why be using a disfavour anymore at that moment when you switch to crit? Interesting question.
