Now, this is weird mainly because Chaos Bolt benefits from our additional crit chance% (and honestly, I don't even know what the actual coefficient is that is being calculated to boost CB damage) in addition to crits on immolate getting shards.
Having said that, I have found much better results when using haste / mastery proc'ing items / trinkets / abilities then when I am using crit variants. I wish I knew why, honestly, I don't. I think with our mastery and the higher it is the "rolls" we get for the additional damage% have a higher ceiling....but also a higher floor. So with more mastery the ranges go from x - y to x+masteryincrease - y+masteryincrease which to me just appears / feels like more damage than straight crit. I honestly don't even know what having 800 crit proc does for chaos bolt. How much additional damage? It feels like next to nothing (almost lower than our azerite trait for chaos bolt).
Just my 2c and what I have discovered over the course of the exp.
