atm im playin around with shen+viper and it looks kinda cool. Shens' crits r nice (4.6k w/o aruls,dchest,towers,ac/dc) fully drained with TR, but to make shen as a better wep then offhand viper u need to have high crit chance compared to viper and i cant seem to find out which is btter. Advices are welcome.
My self crit on inf dynas are around average of 22% depending on mobs

i take it you are a pvm-shade then?
a few little thoughts from my side: shens do better when they have more crit chance. on the other hand, some of your perks will profit from +dmg.
what you could try is use the lvl3 offense and a snipers friend, with goc, melee pad, and pred circlet/cosmic guide + some calcs (if you have, since theyre harder to get). id also use the DB chest over d-chest since your shens will profit even more from it than vipers, and im doing more dmg already than with dchest with it (using vipers), and since i simply assume youre a pvm shade, you wont need those extra 22 AR from the dchest anyways.
so, whats keeping you? ^^
just try it out, get a friendly doc and enf (with new mango) to go to you to 255 or lotv, and do some dd dumping.

Problem is i will have to swap CC/CM boots for SoS then cuz i can keep my shen out of oe in full def setup with CM chest atm

[Stabbah]

LOL!

DDwise, in pvm! There is NO QUESTION at all.. VTS ftw get a +15 tho!

Especially if your using shen stick, then crits are ftw

some of your perks will profit from +dmg.

I've never seen any of my perks being affected by +dmg. What perks are you talking about?

On topic, i'd go for the VTS without thinking.

well, i might be wrong, but from what i remember, all of the PM perks count as SpecialHits and that should mean that +add dmg gear affects them, too.

No they do not. They have a damage range. I do however believe the Nanodamage multiplier does affect it. I could be wrong though, same with piercing skill (I haven't tested it repeatedly to verify it yet).

[ziliath]

No, nanodamage does not affect it either.
