Crit dmg vs weapon

iGotBaited
This would be regarding pvp dmg. I'm a 810 nightblade, currently as orc I have 35.6k stam 5208 wp dmg buffed with 54% ish crit, 60% if im dw. My question : Is the 258 weapon dmg from orc passive or the 10% crit dmg from khajiit better for burst stealth gank combo? (I always open from stealth).

    That depends on the rest of your build. How high is the crit damage bonus overall? How high at the beginning of your combo? Have you cast focus? Is it fully charged? Do you use shadow mundus?

    Flat out answers can only be wrong if you do not give all the data.

    But generally if your enemy has high resist (armor and crit) and you low crit chance and penetration, than weapon damage is better, even as a stamblade. Also the more stacked crit damage bonus you already have, the less efficient the additional 10% become.
    If anyone here says: OH! But, PVP! I swear I'll ...

    Thank you for the valuable input and respectfully recommend to discuss that aspect of ESO on the PVP forum.

    258 weapon dmg
    when races was rebalanced and changed there was ofc tests and from these tests people get that this additional wepaon dmg from orc is doing a bit better crits dmg at all than 10% crit dmg on khajiit with not to mention this pure weapon dmg will have effect also on non-crits + from orc you have much more stats and damage output in overall than khajiit

    EDIT: and so if you dont have very hight crit chance then khajiit is even worse (minimum 65%, the best minimum 70% to have it useful)

    The 258 Weapon Damage and the 10% crit damage end up pretty similar in terms of damage. The thing that makes Orcs crit higher is the 2k Stamina vs Khajiit’s 825. The Orc also has more health, self healing and mobility. No comparison.

    yeah it can be even same damage in crit damage and yet orc is getting bigge advantage for damage without crits
