Assault Stance and Illusive Clone are already pumping your crit damage. You're near the cap before you've rolled a single line, so stacking more of it does less than you'd think, and crit chance quietly overtakes it.
Crit chance is your stat
| Stat | You | A class without those passives |
|---|---|---|
| +1% Crit chance | +0.53% | +0.40% |
| +1% Critical damage boost | +0.44% | +0.51% |
A third more value on crit chance than the Templar gets, and less on crit damage. If the two of you are rolling the same lines, one of you is wrong.

Smite off Pet Genus lines 3 and 9, helmet and cloak lines, Wisdom Pantheon. Pet Genus guide for which lines to lock.
Wings: the one choice still in flux
| Pair | Korean Assassins wearing it |
|---|---|
| Talisra's Wings | 58% |
| Awaken Pride Wings | 30%, climbing |
| Illusory Echo Wings | 3% |
Every other class has settled. Yours hasn't, and that's worth knowing before you sink materials into the wrong pair.
Talisra's are still ahead on raw numbers: attack bonus, defence, accuracy, cooldown reduction. Awaken Pride landed later in Korea and people are moving to them fast. Max attack, back attack crit, back attack damage boost, penetration. Read that list again. It's built for one class and it's yours.
If you can hold a back position and you're gearing for months rather than this week, go Awaken Pride. That 58/30 split is a migration in progress, not a settled answer.

Accuracy and crit floors
| Raid | Accuracy | Crit |
|---|---|---|
| Ludra | 1,500 | 1,600 |
| Corroded | 2,350 | 2,500 |
| Muspel (Hard) | 2,800 | 3,150 |
Under these and you're whiffing, which beats every stat on this page for damage lost.
