Passive dmg doesn't make a difference .5 on your dps? doesn't add to dmg. try passive crit shot for a bit you'll enjoy it

Passive Crit seems to increase overall DPS considerably less than passive damage, though neither does very much. When I get to the point where I have nothing better to spend SP on, I will definitely take damage passive over Crit passive. Crits seem to average less than 200% damage which means 1% Crit is less than 1% Dmg for overall damage output.

I'd rather have 200% more dmg then have low crit and not do it at all

Your preference is your preference but the math shows passive damage is better for damage in the long run. If crits are 200% damage then 1% damage and 1% Crit have the same effect on overall damage output. If Crit damage is over 200% then Crit is better. If Crits are under 200% damage on average, which seems to be the case, then 1% damage will increase your overall DPS more than 1% Crit. Some people just like to see the big spike damage, which is fine. At the end of the day, neither one provides a tremendous increase in DPS.

I see what you're saying, what i enjoy is hitting big crits which happens often especially lightning the more i can crit 1300dmg the better. dps isn't my build i want the highest dmg i can for my nuke mage. i've read a lot of your posts i tend to agree with you more then others who act like they know how to build a mage.
