Post 2.5 suggestion: Allow other classes to have ways to crit on constructs / undead

Assuming I'm not incredibly out of date...
The only way that melee can crit on constructs are
1) Enchanters via http://wiki.shardsofdalaya.com/index.php/Spell:_Nejax's_Unmaking_Curse

The only that melee can crit on undead are
1) Having a paladin in the group.

I know of only a few 6-man mobs that are constructs (Rohk) and undead (Curator Niniliti). But the limitations on these 2 6-mans are pretty huge. Also in raids it would be nice if more than 1 class had the ability.

I propose that rogues fill this gap in utility to cause the group/raid to crit on constructs/undead based on the following:
1) Rogues lack of utility.
2) I believe it was stated somewhere (can't find the dev post) that rogues were due for a look/revamp after monks/rogues.
3) Rogues are supposedly the masters of melee, so allowing the group/raid to MELEE crit makes some sense at least.
4) Could be fixed via a stance that allows the crits or via poisons. I think poisons would be cool since last time I checked they weren't that amazing and probably due for a revamp.

For reference, recent rogue thread: https://shardsofdalaya.com/forum/threads/rogues.29488/
 
I dunno if I'd consider rogues 'masters of melee' but I do believe poisons should be better or give some more utility for the trouble/effort involved with it.

Then again I also believe that all 6-mans should be humanoid by default because body type screws melee the hardest and rohk would be the prime example of it. Curator is KIND OF a different story though, there's a lot of damage going out on that fight and runic 1 is nice for it. Good luck though, this has been a gripe for months, probably years.
 
This is a sensible, non-game breaking, suggestion. I like the idea of wrapping it in with poisons as well from a utility perspective. My only question would be - in my mind, if it is only the rogue who has poison on his/her weapon, then does it make sense for other people to be able to crit with this? Would it apply a debuff or just be a buff on the rogue? Also (since I have no idea), can rogues use their poisons to buff other people? It seems like they should be able to apply poison to someone else's weapons.
 
to be fair...molten lead doesnt stack with druid archaic (last i recall) but lets be honest. who takes druids anywhere?
