not a single thing except MoP gives you more/less chance to crit, except frenzy.

I _THINK_ base chance to crit is 5%

Quote from the herald:

Q: What is the percentage chance each kind of attack damage has to critical hit? Do things like the realm abilities that add to critical percentage stack on top of this or are they a percentage of this?

All attacks start with a base chance of 10%. If you have a skill that says “adds 5%,” your base chance is 15%. Incidentally, there is one attack that is an exception to this - an archer’s Critical Shot ability will never get additional damage from (lower case c) critical hits. Remember, because it is a chance and not a hard number, you will get runs of good luck and runs of bad luck. A true test is conducted over time. I believe we used four hours as a baseline the last time we tested this in house.

I find it funny Mythic has to test stuff like this seeing they actually hardcoded it all?

Generally you do test programs you write before releasing them.

Wish Mythic could do it properly. Sad fact is that players have to point out completely obvious bugs that should have been checked.

(e.g Dex not Str being the modifier for staves etc when their design said it was Str.)

As stated above, 10% chance and another 5% per level of MoP.

So in effect MoP 2 doubles your chance to crit, and theoretically MoP 3 would give you a 25% chance to crit, or in other words a 1 in 4 chance.
