Your not realizing that the crit multiplier only affects the times you crit. Not every single attack. The rest of the time your not critting that multiplier means nothing. Example:

Heres random spell X, it does 100 damage with a 6% chance to critical, and your normal 150% crit multiplier. So on a crit your damage would be 150(100*1.5=150). After 100 casts this would be the damage:

Six casts would be criticals (150dam*6casts=900dam). The other 94 casts would be (100dam*94=9400dam). Add those together for 10,300 dam (900+9400=10,300dam).



Now lets take a 5% spell dam increase node. So new spell damage is 105 (100*1.05=105). Crit damage with same 150% multiplier would be 157.5dam(105dam*1.5multiplier=157.5) After 100 casts damage is:

Six casts would crit for 945dam(157.5dam*6casts=945dam).
The other 94 would be 9870dam (105dam*94casts=9870dam).
Add them up for a total of 10,815dam (945+9870=10,815).



Ok now we will take a 20% crit chance node instead of the 5% spell node. So add 20% chance to our base of 6% is 7.2% (0.06*1.2=7.2). We will round to 7%. So now we have a 7% chance to crit. Heres the damage:

Seven casts would crit for 1,050dam (150dam*7casts=1050)
The other 93 would be 9,300dam (100dam*93casts=9300). Add them up and you get 10,350dam (1050+9300=10350).



Last example, this time we are taking 10% crit multiplier node instead of the crit chance or spell damage. So new crit multiplier would be 160% (1.50+.10=1.60). And the new damage when we crit would be 160dam (100*1.6=160). Heres the example for damage:

Six casts would crit for 960dam(160dam*6casts=960dam).
The other 94 would be 9400dam (100dam*94casts=9400dam).
Add them up and you get 10,360dam. (960+9400=10360dam).



In conclusion:
Base spell over 100 casts = 10,300 dam.
5% spell dam increase node = 10,815 dam.
20% crit chance increase node = 10,350 dam.
10% crit dam multiplier node = 10,360 dam.
