This bugs me a little. I don't see why Rogues and Hunters should
require more agility than the other classes to increase their crit
chance. The fact that we (my main is a Hunter) get attack power from
agility too shouldn't cause us to be handicapped with regards to
getting a crit. It's like giving with one hand and taking it away with
the other.

This bugs me a bit more than the last one. The reasoning for the
reduced crit % for Rogues and Hunters is that they can get much higher
AGI from items. The reason for the reduced dodge chance for Hunters is
the same - why doesn't it apply to Rogues in this case? Don't get me
wrong, I am not saying that Rogues shouldn't have a higher dodge chance
than other classes as it is probably one of their defining aspects -
hard to hit but get hit hard when they are. I'm just saying that the
reasoning for reduced crit % and reduced dodge % is inconsistant. As
for the reduced dodge % due to the fact we have a buff to raise it -
that's daft too. Why not reduce Mage's intelligence because they have
a buff for it? I would much rather have the higher dodge % and not
have the buff. I often have the dilema of choosing between Monkey (+
dodge%) or Hawk (+ ranged attack power) if I have an add beating on me
- do I keep Hawk on to finish my target faster or do I put Monkey on to
reduce the damage taken?
Ok - I've stopped whining now. (although I don't guarantee that there
won't be more whining if people respond to this one :)
