Within the guide, it says:
"Individual ticks of Doton will all be guaranteed crits if you use it with Kassatsu, making it one of the most potent AoE abilities in the game."

Why is it when I do this, people put so much focus into me by telling me Kassatsu should be with Raiton instead? I mean, I know that, but in dungeons with adds, I use Doton with Kassatsu, so I don't see what the fuss is about.

The simple answer? People are idiots, and a whole lot of them underestimate DoTs in general, and particularly AoE DoTs when dealing with trash mobs.....

Could also be because DoT tick crits cannot be recorded. Thats why your DPS will look underwhelming compared to Raiton. But guaranteed CRIT + DoT is defintiely more potent.
