In the past I always maxed out my dex, str and int passives and ignored the rest. the damage passive is a percentage of our base damage and our base damage is getting so high now that we can no longer ignore damage passive. In fact, if it came down to either maxing damage passive or maxing dex passive we would do more damage with the damage passive maxed (there's a lot of "damage" in the sentence, hehe).
Here are some numbers:
First without any passives at all:
health: 2193
damage: 339.1
Now with 5 in dex passive:
health 2268
damage: 354
so, dex maxed gives us 73 more health and 354 damage
Now with damage passive maxed (0 in dex passive):
health 2193 (unchanged)
damage: 339.1 plus 5% = 356
so, we can see that maxing our damage passive gives us 2 more damage. The benefit will only increase over time as our base damage increases.
Of course, the logical thing to do is simple max both.
Here's something else to chew on:
Base damage with no pet and maxed dex: 355
plus 15% damage bonus from loki, 15% from standing in smoke and 5% damage passives =
479.25 damage.
So don't ignore pet bonus damage, smoke and damage passives.
