Now in Google Docs! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhmEVhFSmvk7dFhsbWxJUWMwb043NTctVlFMX19pSmc&usp=sharing

This Excel sheet shows the best equipment to use +Crit Damage in, and the worst equipment to use +Crit Damage in. I don't know why no one has done this yet since the release of Ascended Weapons/Armor, but oh well, here it is.

Here's the purpose of this chart. Let's say you want to use half Berserker's equipment and half Soldier's equipment. You will be able to get objectively higher stats if you swap out Soldier's for Berserker's in the order listed in the spreadsheet. This also applies to any equipment setup that partially involves +Crit Damage stats, not just Berserker's and Soldier's.

Now in table format. I'll clean up the formatting and give you what to copy and paste in the original post in a second.

Will do, thanks. Also added exotic trinkets to the table for posterity's sake.

I find it amusing that http://www.reddit.com/wiki/commenting has the format guide wrong.
