[[Critical hit chance]] is one of the most powerful and popular item modifiers in the game. As the name suggests, items and skills with this property increase a character's chance to score a [[critical hit]]. This not only increases a character's [[DPS]], but many other effects and [[procs]] trigger off Critical Hits, making a substantial value in this stat essential for many of the more popular [[build]]s in the game.

All characters deal 5% critical hit chance at 50% [[critical hit damage]] to start with, and raise both figures with equipment and skills. Many passive skills directly boost critical hit chance, and modifiers to improve it are highly-valued on helms, rings, amulets, gloves, bracers, and weapons. Other item slots can boost CHC as well, via legendaries and sets.

The amount of CHC required to succeed varies with character classes and builds, but 25% is a low figure for a high level character. Most players try for 40% or more in their end game gear, and amounts up around 60% are not uncommon for very well-geared characters.

 ==Critical hit Chance by Class==
-The classes vary widely in the amount of Critical hit Chance they can add with skills. For instance, Barbarians can easily add 5% from [[Ruthless]] and 15% from [[Weapons Master]], while [[Monk]]s don't have any CC boosting skills at all.
+The classes vary in their maximum ChC due to differences in equipment and skills. The swings between classes aren't as large in RoS as they were in D3v, since fewer skills boost ChC than in the old days.
-The amount of CC required to succeed varies with character classes and builds, but 40%/400% is a good guideline for new players to aspire to. Well-geared characters will generally exceed those values, and should add in as much [[elemental damage]] as possible, to increase damage output exponentially.
+In terms of strategy, it's not ideal to chase the highest possible values in any stat. Players who achieve the highest values generally do so by specializing their gear in just that value purely to try to achieve the highest score for third party ranking sites. That said, here are the highest ChC values by class, as of June 2014, via the sorting charts on DiabloProgress.com.[http://www.diabloprogress.com/rating.stat_crit_chance]
 As of January 9, 2013, the highest CC figures for skills + equipment (verified by [http://Diablo3Ladders.com Diablo3Ladders.com]) were:
