Wizard’s my class, and I read a post here that Crit Chance and Crit DMG are important to max out (it was weeks ago).
Since then, I have been wondering if the Poison’s elemcrit which is Poison Cloud could deal a Crit DMG?
Because of this, I have 45% critChance and about 210% critDMG.
I don’t want to waste some slots of my gears.
All response would be greatly appreciated, ciao!

anything that causes damage has a chance to cause a critical hit except for Crushing Blow & Crushing Flames.
if you want to make a good damage with your Poison Build…
Plagued Set. Plagued Set (5) gives you +125% to your Poison DoT damage for every enemy that is poisoned. since Toxic (Poison Cloud) damage is 400% of your Poison DoT, that means lots of damage.
Sorcery Talent. Sorcery 20 increases your Poison DoT +100%. Sorcery 40 is +200%.
Blight. Blight is the Elemental Crit Damage for Toxic. it can increase Toxic damage +100%, and you can have up to 6 on your equipment. with just one, your Toxic will do 800% Poison DoT damage for 5 seconds instead of 400%.
Fester. this increases the speed of your Poison DoT, but I’m not sure if it increases the duration, as Poison DoT is already 8 seconds. this is kind of hard to test, so… but this is also how long the increased speed of your Poison DoT lasts. Fester 20 is 1.5 Poison DoT a second for 2 seconds. Fester 40 is 2 Poison DoT a second for 4 seconds.
from what I know, your enemies would be taking damage from your attacks, Poison DoT, and Toxic DoT. for the DoT’s only the one doing the most damage is used.
if your attack does a critical hit, your Poison DoT will be based on that damage. and each Poison DoT has a chance to critical hit.
Toxic damage is based on your Poison DoT damage before it critical hits.
Toxic DoT damage also has a chance to critical hit.
if your attack does 1000 damage and critical hits for +200% crit dmg, thats 3000 damage.
Poison DoT is 10% of attack damage a second for 8 seconds. so 300 damage. if you have Sorcery 20 and hit 4 enemies with Plagued Set (5), that is 300 x 2 x 6 = 3600. 3600 x 3 (crit) -10.8k damage.
Toxic with 2 Blight is 1200 DoT damage. 3600 (Poison DoT) x 12 = 43.2k damage. 43.2k x 3 (crit) = 129.6k crit damage.
so 45% of your attacks are 3k damage.
45% of your Poison DoT’s are 10.8k damage (if your attack was a critical hit).
45% of your Toxic DoT’s are 129.6k damage (based on 4 enemies poisoned and your attack is a critical hit).
hope this helps.

lol 
.
even I’m still learning how to bump up the damage. there are so many ways to do that, and not all of them work with every Build.

So does that mean crushing flame and crushing blow does not do elemental crit damage?
Crushing Blow has a chance to take 25% of your enemies current health, ONLY modified by the enemies Tier level and Crushing Flames.
Crushing Blow & Crushing Flames do not cause an Elemental Crit, so they can’t cause Elemental Crit Damage.

This enemy wont die. LMAO
Maps with the Heal affix… on lower floors, it’s not a problem, except for beginners, but on higher maps, the enemies can heal more health a second that your total DPS!
last night, I was using my floor 500 farmer on floor 1200 (was clearing out some high floor Legend Maps) and got stuck fighting a bunch of Epic, a Legend, and then a Mythic monster, I think it took me 20 to 30 minutes total, and I did die a few times. I even had to add Crushing Blow to speed up the killing. I think I need to make sure my next Farm Build can handle at least floor 1500ish so that I don’t feel stupid… lol.
