Treat the damage derived from Critical Strike in a manner similar to Stealth spec
Change the curve on Critical Strike so that each additional [hard] spec point invested towards 50 gives increasingly significant damage to stealth openers.
Critical Strike [comp] spec points function as if Critical Strike is already at comp 50 regardless of spec
The difference in damage gained going from 48->49 would be smaller than 49->50
The curve would get steeper as it approached 50.
It can be thought of as RA cost-effectiveness in reverse where 1,3,6 yields are small and 10,14 are very large
This change would allow high CS users to hit increasingly harder as they approach [hard] 50 CS without bumping openers by someone sitting at [hard] 34 to insane numbers not reflecting the point investment (or lack of). In lieu of CON debuff applying prior to opener damage this can be used to lower the frontload of lesser CS specs while restoring it to the high ones 46-50
This change is especially favorable to 2H Shadowblades
Playing around with comp50 weapon/stealth at RR11 there is never enough points for Infil to achieve 50 CS alongside Dual Shadows or Dragonfang, with the best 41 CS + DS or DR with 30+20 stealth/env/weapon
For RR11 Nightshade 50 CS caps to 35/30 weapon/CD with 30+20 stealth/env
An RR11 Shadowblade is in the same boat as NS
RR11 2H Shadowblade can achieve 50 CS, 44 weapon if he foregoes LA with 0
