Which one should be prioritized?

I was under the impression that both are additive but I heard some different views.

what are the views you heard?

So far I’ve kept things simple.

Vulnerable
Critical strike damage
Core damage
Dex/all stats

Am I correct in this assessment?

-Main Stats
-[X]% Damage
-Attack Speed Bonus (doesn’t affect numbers directly but helps you cast more often)
-Critical Strike
-Additive Damage [+]% Damage, Damage VS = Damage To, Damage While, and Damage With, Damage After
-Vulnerable Damage

Hi! Thanks! Please explain to me however. For example,

If what you’re saying is correct.

Damage vs chilled > vulnerable damage.

Then how come everyone wants vulnerable on their item? Why do we always talk about how vulnerable is multiplicative and how it got nerfed etc what am I missing?

Thanks!

you're misunderstanding...

It dint get nerfed, the stats you got from weapons and stuff got nerfed. It still does the same thing.

What you are doing is optimal for weapons. (Maybe crit chance instead of core dmg if you don t have from other sources)

Rings are kind of crit dmg crit chance ias lucky hit. I actually have life on 1 ring instead of crit chance.

Dmg close or dmg core is same shit (additive-same bucket) and not multiplicative. So you want the one that has the highest possible and usually that dmg close.

You cant get crit chance on a weapon bro

core dmg will always be better than close dmg

close dmg is good but circumstances have to be met and sometimes it just doesnt register
blame blizzard for their bug and shit stuff
