Ya, I'm kinda lucky they're all in my guild and actually like me, or they'd probably be really mad to see me up there every boss when everyone knows I haven't spent a cent.

I didn't even play beta, so I can't speak about how much his power has changed. We're not really in beta anymore anyway, even if sometimes it feels like we are. Still doesn't change the fact that learning how to adjust your formations, and use the best heroes and runes for the situation is still going to help more than just getting the occasional crit. Relying on lucky critical hits to up your damage when there are ways to play that will increase damage exponentially without depending quite so much on luck during the fight is silly.
