When going all in, I see -20 ctbc without -crit on gear. Does all -crit stuff (items and FS) work below 0 chance to be crit or only FS?
Dying is no option.

Is the forumla different on int or could it be that casters have all around ~the same base crit chance and the rest comes only from bonus critchance about gear ?
Intelligence does not modify chance to crit at all.

-6, -9, -12, -22, -26, -66 are the breakoff points. Each data point lowers the value of more anti crit. Depends on who you are fighting

Man... all the answer above complicate things for nothing.

1- Intelligence do not affect your chance to crit at all. You crit 0% chance at 10 intel. and still 0% chance at 1200 intel.

2- Caster crit chance is called : Magic critical hitrate.

3- You can increase it in 5 different ways. A) crit chance from gear. B) Crit chance from renown ability, in your case : magic crit chance is called Focused Power. C) Using tactic that give increased critical hit-rate. D) Your mechanic, such as sorc/BW dark magic. E) certain class ability that increase crit, such as IB's Ancestor's fury that increase critical hit-rate by 10% for 10s.
Your personal critical hit-rate is the sum of those 5 things. Very easy to calculate. On .getstat its the sum of : Criticalhitrate + magiccritrate, for casters.

Now, what everyone is saying above is : in real combat, your chance to crit is affected by your opponent chance to avoid being crit. If you have 25% chance to crit, but your enemy has -26% chance to get crit... you effectively never crit, same as if you had 0. Conversely, if you have only 15% critical hit-rate but your opponent has 10% chance to get crit, you will crit on him 25% of the time. So in your decision process of how much crit you need, you have to factor in how your enemy is speccing.

Edit - May I add : Critical chance or critical hit-rate refer in game to your chance in % to crit. Critical bonus often refer to how much critical damage you do. So a piece of gear that increase critical bonus, increase the damage of your critical hits, not your chances to crit.
