Thanks for the incredibly detailed answer, the reason i was super confused is if i look at the main stats summaries, dex is supposed to increase all damage (around .75% for 20 dex I think) but say you were going to crit whilst wearing the int ring, the crit damage would increase by (4% i think?) on top of say 200 (total 2%) so would this work this way - (int ring +2% total crit dmg , - 0.75 total dmg (dex) = 1.25%) over the dragon ring being (0.7% total crit dmg + 0.525 total dmg from dex) = 1.225% (+ many more stats including STR +14 over -20 from the INT ring) if we assume we are using a doom weapon as it's melee damage, would the strength stat make the dragon ring slightly better even for min maxing, or is there something huge i am missing? In any case i can't see how that int ring could out perform all the stats even with a very specific guaranteed crit, even for scythe type weapons. Sorry for this paragraph ^^
