I talked my ear off about it in the alpha. I gave up when no new talents had been added by the time the release date of the game was announced. They did add a couple more since then, but they could have done more.
Magic users still have almost nothing, although they did fix Savage Sortelige to make it worthwhile.
I would have joined you in the talks if I was around at that time.
But yeah, the more Crit chance you build the better Savage seems to be. But if you're a healer, then you won't really need it, since you won' t have that much crit. (maybe from items, but not from wits. my healer doesn't like going first)!
