Ah. Nowhere near the same tier as Chris Kluwe, but still an asshat.
Normal players generally don't do anything more than what you can whip up in Autohotkey. There's a decent population of accounts that get used to bot currency flipping. A ban wave tends to wipe them out about once a league lately though. There's nothing on the scale of what people do (did? haven't played it in ages) to bot paragon levels in D3. Nothing like TurboHUD either.

Yeah you want to run 1 of every kind to get the completion bonus. Later on you may want to shape your map to force it to drop certain maps, but that's usually after you get into T10+. Basically upgrade your lower ones T5 and below to magic items, alt if necessary to get away from certain mods, like no mana/regen etc. Roll a bunch at one time so you can run them back to back quickly. Seek out Zana as a master as well and try to level her quickly as she adds a item mod bonus to your map drops. Once you get to T5 plus, some people use an alc orb on those to get better drops but not 100% necessary if you are short on alchs. Hope that helps.

So help me out with evaluating items here. This thing seems good, but the only rings I can find on poe.trade that have both crit change and melee damage also have a ton of other mods and cost a shit ton, and this one doesn't look anywhere near as good as those?

The reason it's a cheapo PP is because you just stack global crit, get a fast attacking weapon, stack spell damage and attack speed, and go nuts. Can easily get the 65% crit chance and 10ish APS with just garbo attack abilities like barrage/power siphon/etc.
So basically rather than getting PP's and slotting them up, you just build up pure spell damage and use arc/coldsnap/lightning ball whatever connected to a faster attacks/multistrike whatever settup and blow shit up. With staffs/bows you can even roll inherent lvl 20 cast on crit shaper affix. So now you just get a bow with that in it, 20% double damage mod because it's GLOBAL damage, maybe +1 gem it, and put in whatever ability you want to use as a vector for your crits. Honestly a 2hand staff with +1 melee with elemental hit as the main ability and then a matching element proc might be good too. For instance:
Staff with cast on crit with +1 gems and 20% double damage:
Static Strike--Multistrike-- Arc-- Ele Focus -Controlled Destruction - Inc crit chance
Then you just stack +lightning damage in trees and jewels (actual jewels, not eyes) with crit multiplier and some desired attack speed stuff. Staffs can roll up to 1.5 APs so it's not too bad.
