I guess it comes down to which way you want to look at it. You say you develop your dexterity and scrap the secondary weapon to use Bloodlust. Since Bloodlust gives you an extra attack, you have more chances to crit... But you lose the one attack you're gaining by dropping the secondary weapon. And oh, I develop speed and senses first for my samurai, because those are the controlling attributes for critical hits. So by dropping Bloodlust and keeping my secondary weapon, I have the same amount of attacks. By using something other than Bloodlust, I can actually hit. And by training speed and senses rather than dex and whatever, I theoretically have a higher chance to critical hit. So why should I use it again? :>

And as to the bard using Bloodlust and having that be the reason why s/he has lots of kills, I can only say that there are far more and better ways to make your bard high on the kill list. My bard is currently second in kills (after my ranger!), but I attribute this more to my judicious use of the Piercing Pipes than anything else. In the swamps my bard was popping 5 and 6 frogs at a time. That'll rack up the kills pretty quickly!

Anyway, I'm just playing devil's advocate here, so don't rag on me too bad. I imagine you can build a character to effectively use Bloodlust, but I'd personally rather not suffer the annoyance. To each his/her own though [img]smile.gif[/img]
