Critical
- Shyad has Critical and an inherent ability but the other Mages do not.
- I look at the Mages of the top players in my server I see that most of them have a Hit Rating rune, including one that said it does not work in the forum
- I believe that the consensus in the forum is that it does not benefit Mages but I have seen some discussion that it does.
- When I look at the Mages of the top players in my server I see that most of them do not have a Critical rune although one does on Smoulder.
Taking the above into consideration I conclude that Critical does not benefit most Mages. I am not sure if it does benefit Shyad.
