So does Crit Damage start at 100%? In that case, in example, if I had 150% Crit Damage I would want 25% Crit Rate correct?

You'd want 75%, just look at the ratio, don't worry about where any of it starts.

So 1:2 is about a total comparison. For all current characters, without any artifacts, they have 5% crit rate and 50% crit damage, so to maintain 1:2, for instance, you would want your character to have +20 crit rate, making your character's total attributes to be 25% crit rate.

The reason for the 1:2 golden ratio is the opportunity cost in the calculations. For the circlet, the main stat can be either Crit Rate or Crit Dmg, at about 31% and 62% respectively. So this tradeoff is seen as 1:2, so the math comes to be that 1:2 ratio for a general case. Of course, having 25/50 is pretty low for endgame DPS units, and in my opinion, the moment you can reach 50% crit rate via artifacts substats and/or weapon, you should be trying to maximize crit damage as much as possible for general, lategame DPS units i.e. 50/200. And thus begins the lategame artifact grind.

You want 1:2 all the way to 100%/200%. 50/200 does considerably less damage than taking 50 of that crit damage and turning it into 25 crit rate.

50*200 = 10,000. 75*150= 11,250. This is the apex of a parabolic function, if you go in either direction you lose damage. 74*152 and 76*148 are both 11,248 damage. The only reason to back off is if situational modifiers take you over 100% crit since that's straight up lost damage.

mm, kinda sketchy with eula though. claymore shatters frozen away, and her most popular superconductors (beidou burst/oz) will pretty much permanently strip cryo off enemies, preventing the resonance from doing anything.

There should be slight consideration made if you're using one of characters that have kit pieces that require landing crit hits to function. Klee gives 2 energy to the whole team when she crits on a charge attack, Yanfei charge attack crits add another bonus hit, and Childe crits during his melee stance apply his riptide debuff. Rosaria in general prefers crit over crit damage, as she gives a portion of her crit rate to the rest of the team during her burst, and she gains attack speed and basic attack damage when she lands a crit (plus a constellation that gives her energy for critting with her skill).

But other than these cases, you should definitely aim for the 1:2 ratio. Also be aware of characters or abilities that gain crit rate for certain actions, like cryo resonance, Ganyu A1 talent, Keqing A4, etc. Taking a lot of crit on Ganyu and neglecting your crit damage can be a big mistake, when Ganyu gets a free 20% crit rate for repeatedly landing charge shots AND you might even have cryo resonance going for more crit rate.

I mean I'm debating swapping from Petra to Millileth on Albedo because extra attack is better for Eula than cryo damage and it would have pretty much 100% uptime.

No, the 2pc is ER%, and the 4pc converts 25% of your ER to bonus burst damage. I don't think it actually replaces 4pc noblesse very well.

I don't think it changes who you put 4Noblesse on, but it changes some of the 2Noblesse users (Beidou, Xingqiu, Xiangling if you're not using 4Witch, Rosaria, GeoMC, Mona).

2pc - +20% ER
4pc - increase burst damage by 30% of ER up to a maximum bonus of 75%

that should be the set unless i misremembered details about the effects. regardless it doesn't fully replace NO/TotM because it's a set that's all-in on burst damage with no team benefit. you may still want those sets for their team buffs. i also feel like you can look at bad 4pc NO holders like XQ who would love this, while a good TotM user like Zhongli probably gels better with that instead, unless you really wanted to overkill his ER and get a fat meteor.

It's still op at 25%. Even at 150% ER it's more damage than 2Noblesse+2Elemental and you get 20% free ER on top of it.

If they nerf it again I cry though because I'd be too lazy to farm it at 20%.

Almost everyone should have a crit rate helmet. The base crit rate is 5% and the base crit damage is 50% meaning you have to get 20% crit rate somewhere just to get a character's baseline to the 2:1 ratio at all, before any substats are counted in. Getting 20% crit rate from substats is something like 6 crit rate rolls, which is already a lot of crit rate from substats. The only time you should be using a Crit Damage hat are in cases where the character is getting a lot of free crit from some other source, and even then you often want a crit rate hat anyways. For example, Diluc gets 19.2% crit rate from ascension, which still puts him just under the 2:1 ratio as a baseline. If your artifact substats have more crit damage rolls, then crit rate will be better for Diluc (if you're using a weapon that doesn't give it already).

The advice of people to use a crit rate OR crit damage hat should really come with the caveat of "unless you have absurdly good crit rate rolls on your substats, you will require a crit rate hat to get any reasonable crit rate".

I think he's just too similar to sucrose. I know there are situations where he's better but they're fairly narrow and given that it looks like we have a lot of characters coming up it seems easier to skip him now than to skip someone else later.

But if it turns out 2.1 has nothing interesting I might pull for him at the end of the patch.

I'm tentatively interested in Kazuha but I'm new/inexperienced enough that I can't easily picture what kind of team I'd use with him or what role he'll play so I'm waiting for him to be out so I can see/read some impressions of him and get some ideas.
