Good point on Orion, I just threw in a random figure because those AA buffs always seem too small to be 5-6 seconds to me. I'm not actually using passive damage either at the moment since samael got my full attention from the moment he popped out but I had been kicking butt in both PvE and PvP with Ribbit and Clyde back when I was full legendary.

Damage and critical rate passives aren't really changing a lot, that much is true. That's the reason I went with versatile hybrid builds in all three of my class characters. You can't quite cut down a perfect build unless you're only using a specific pet so I'd just put enough critical passive to reach a specific plateau and then use the remaining points in gale force for faster KM3 - Jarl runs.
