For the jobs that can use Hybrid WS the only options available are like...

Hecate's Earring
Nefarious Collar
Wise Strap

Think that's it... Could be wrong. Knowledge on mage half of play is really poor on my part.

Unless I'm forgetting something, there are no hybrid WS that the Sroda Tathlum jobs can use. They only get magical WS.

a few come up on here when searching by terms

Cool!

But yeah the reason for question about Hybrids, is I was wondering if you made one crit with magic crit rate, if it'd cause the physical side to crit as well.

No idea how to test whether or not that'd work though.

I don't think any of those items are worth it, and the stat should be called "Occasionally gives +10 Mab". The rate of "occasional" is the magic crit rate%. Calling it that way makes you think about melee physical crits and I think they are quite different.
The Damage gives another boost, for instance Nefarious Collar is another +5 mab thanks to the mag crit dmg, so when it procs it's gonna be +15 instead of +10.

I don't think any of those items are worth it for hybrids, the only piece that could be worth it is Sroda Tathlum?
Magic Crit II works differently since it's a % based bonus and not fixed.

Sroda tathlum is bis for Rdm enspells. The regular magic crit gear is not.

The gear you need to take off for magic crit gear on hybrids will drop your dmg a lot more than what bonus you get from it. And melee jobs can't wear Sroda tathlum.

Pretty valid concern, I used to remember it was All Jobs, but think again!

If it worked I expect JPs would have tested it and confirmed.
