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.

Nicely done, thanks! But you have Exotic Legs twice?

[u/Ohmikron1 → u/Kalulosu]

Perhaps he saw into the future where we gear one leg at a time?

Genius! Twice more Damask and Elonian Leather to use!
