No, not absolutely, but you are giving away a lot of damage.
Global Crit Chance scales off of the local crit chance, and going from 5% to 7% will lead to an overall damage increase of about +30-40%.

I could offer my old sword quite cheap, though the DpS is probably too low for you:

Spoiler

Well, if crit chance on the weapon equates to around 30-40% damage increase, then my weapon is not fit for this crit build. I am a guy that wants the most damage the build can offer at a reasonable price especially in this league.
If i played HC, i wouldnt mind a damage scale back.

If i do find a 500+ Sword with crit chance for a reasonable price i think ill continue with the build.

Cant find any 500+ pdps sword with crit chance. Oh well, guess ill just skip this build and try something else.

There's several at 450-480. They will do, and they are quite cheap.
You can also check for 500 DpS swords that have an open suffix for master crafting.

If you still want to try it, use one of those.
If you don't, well... then do something else. ;)

You can do my build even with a 5% crit sword, it's just not too efficient.
If we mix your sword (it has about the same local DpS as mine) with my rest-gear, this would lead to about 30% crit chance.

This makes for 0.6*20.000 + 0.3*120.000 = 48.000 tooltip DpS.
If that's not satisfying for you, well, find another Cyclone build that does more than that. ;)

Recorded some little videos:

Click me
Residence Dominus with +30% damage, frenzy charges (rest of map mods don't matter here).
I wait a bit on health potions to see how hard he hurts. Yep, he hurts a bit. Could have probably used my Topaz flask, too. ;)

Click me
Double Shipyard boss, some other mods. Was laggy as hell.

Click me
Merciless Piety, just for the lolz. I love how she tries to run from my mighty Cyclone Smash! ;)




I also dropped Ondar's Guile (don't really need it) and the Endurance Charge from Oak Merciless (also not required, most of the time I only have 2-3 charges when IC triggers) to get the last open 5/5/10% life cluster.
Happened in between the two videos, so the Piety one has my current life pool right. ;)

So far i am lvl 58 on race. Saddly got really poor weapon for now, but the build looks really promising. I could facetank dominus on cruel and kole without loosing 50% hp. Brutus couldnt even hit me and i easily dpsed him down while being actually immune lel.

182% life
27% reduced mana cost
(Phase) Acrobatics

385% crit chance
140% crit multi
Damage & Attackspeed that I'm too lazy to add up, probably enough of both

What has changed for the build?

I gain more mana cost reduction, because of the nice new cluster with life+mana cost.
I drop the templar zone, because crit was moved further down, and Amplify is not too great to reach.

As in the old build, I ignore most sword damage clusters and the whole Duelist zone.
Tried for a build that crosses the duelist start and takes Master of the Arena and Art of the Gladiator, but the current pathing seems to be more cost efficient.

1.3 theory craft shadow or duelist may be slightly better getting both Amplify and Master of the Arena

If need mana, Righteous Decree (22% max mana, 6% reduced cost) or Mana Flows is 2 nodes away.

Probably true, but doesn't really matter to me.

It has to be a Marauder, or else it isn't a good build.

Marauder: Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson
Duelist: Justin Bieber with a red shirt
Shadow: Robert Pattinson from Twilight

thats the reason marauder is crap,

sad but true shadow gets more life and damage than a marauder, ther is one crit cluster on the left ide of the tree whiel on the right side there are 5 or more, thats why people saying resolute techniqe needs a buff because there is no other choice, or yozu can try to be a poormans shadow copy and go crit run around with 5k life and get oneshotte because of the lack of mitigation
