my build help if possible

You want to increase your agility until u get max attack speed for nail weapons which is 340. After that increase your crit to at least 150 so your attacks won't miss and you will do critical attacks most of the time. After at least 150 crit go back and max your agility followed by maxing your crit. After both Agi and crit are maxed then start adding str.

If your a ninja then chances are you will be using koda upgraded which adds melee up by crit which means 256 crit is 256 extra damage also the more crit you have the more crit damage you have which is why it is suggested to max crit

210 CRT is 75% Rate + Schwartz = 85%
240 CRT is 85% Rate + Schwartz = 95%
You would want to have 95% Rate for your DPS.

Warrior CRT users max their CRT because they want to max their Double Attack Proc and/or be able to use -crit rate xtals/gears which are usually better than non-penalty gears. Or they might want to use different armors that do not have +crit rate and still maintain their hit rate.

Since you don't have double attack and you will probably use schwartz permanently due to the -HP, you might want to consider having less CRT.

If you max your CRT, you get 0.5% extra crit damage per 1 CRT and nothing more (*based on my understanding of the crit dmg formula from JP wiki).

Because the crit rate is capped at 95% (which you will obtain with less CRT) and you don't have double attack.

Of course, if you can't hit 95% (you use exelis up instead of schwartz for example), then you should max your CRT.



-----------------

*CRT damage formula

CRT damage = White Dmg x (1.5 + CRT / 200) x (1 + skill + chrysta + equipment correction) + (Physical Power/Melee *has some notes that I don't understand)

Lets not forget that almost every ninja uses kodachi upgraded which gives melee up by crit so maxing crit equals more melee damage
