Tomes don't exactly get weapon parts or a lot of passives to make them shine in basic attacking, maybe SR*2 would be a good compromise to you?

If Tomes got weapon parts, they would be used to stack more Power and nothing else. I also recall Book Smack still being a thing.

We are still talking about a five-point sub-path, which is extremely cheap and requires no serious investment in the grand picture. If it was SR*1.5 Hit and SR Critical, then it would work. Any more and you're putting too many points into the effect of a talent path, especially when you're putting hit and critical in the same effect.
