What you're saying is "During a burst phase, crit has a larger impact". While this is true and may make sense for certain encounters where Flare burst is key to eliminating threats to the party, it is not the same as "Crit provides a greater effect because these spells hit harder".

Always remember what you sacrifice to buff that burst phase.

hmm, still not sure i agree with this. even during a burst phase, a 40% increased chance to do 50% more damage vs 20% more damage would net the same result. While it would be amazing if the increased crit chance lead to every flare critting, it would be horrible if it lead to every blizzard critting and no flares critting vs flare simply just doing 20% more damage. All and all, on average, the total damage done (if you were to do this same burst phase 1000000 times) would be the exact same between these 2 situations.

And in the real world, 20% increased damage would be the better choice almost always, because then you *know* when things are going to die, rather than leaving it to RNG.
