Pillar of the Caged God

I got two of those but lost one , anyway the one i have left now is 20% quality with 3 Sockets ( hell yeah ) and i am wondering what is the best runes / souls to put into it ... given the insane modifiers from attributes stacking i am currently doing i would assume putting flat damage increase would be relevant but i am not sure if i understand the maths behind that item well enough to risk bricking that 3 sockets item ?

Crit or noncrit build? With noncrit build you need flat but with crit build you also have option to use crit dmg.

Edit. Critmulti on weapon is More multplier

It's a attributes stacking build weapon so doing Crits for that kind build is optional as it could actually lower DPS .

What i'm looking to understand is how "Weapon Damage" works in the Damage formula , and how maximize DPS through the optimal use of those 3 Sockets when you expect your build to have at least 500 Strength = 1000% Weapon Damage

I know how pillar works and I been playing with that stick in poe1 and now in poe2.
Crit is not as bad you might think. For example if you have 400% crit multi now it would be 544. With breach rings you can get alot of flat dmg and when you top that with crit and more dmg from rage where talking about some really nice numbers.
I don't dispute the fact you may know the weapon or mechanics , i'm pointing out the fact i could have trouble to invest in Crits through the passive tree / other items . As of now i do not have many good legendaries except the Shatter on Chill ring . I do have 2 Breach rings though .

I need to run some math on this thing , is the mechanics on it the same as of PoE 1 when it comes to the damage formula ?

only difference is the fact that you can use elemental dmg as a flat dmg source
