Based on the 2 builds you posted, the avg damage output is higher for the zerker build than the kitten build.
Why? You have to confront the average damage in the long term that you inflict, remembering the base formula of the damage inflicted on every hit.
Power*Wpn Dmg*Skill Coeff./Armor
Now Wpn Dmg, Skill Coeff and Armor are a constant in our case, so the only variable is Power. When you crit, you just multiply that overall damage by 2.59 (base crit dmg of +50% added to you crit dmg of +109% -> +159% -> x2.59).
So, with the zerker build you get:
2457 * 0.5 + 2457 * 0.5 * 2.59 = 4410.315
2457 is the Power, 0.5 in the first addend is the probability to NOT inflict a crit, 0.5 in the second addend is the prob. to inflict a crit, and 2.59 is the multiplier of the crit.
With the kitten build:
2219 * 0.39 + 2219 * 0.61 * 2.59 = 4371.2081
As you can see, the kitten builds gives back a lower average damage than the zerker build.
Ofc in this calculation I haven’t considered the Vuln inflicting trait, which inflicts a stack with a prob. of 0.4*crit chance per hit. With the zerker, it means a prob. of 0.2, with the kitten a prob. of 0.244. Factoring this in the formula is a little bit complicated (due to the fact that Vuln is timed to 10 secs), but since you’re going for a D/P build with Hidden Assassin trait, you’ll get the most of your damage out of backstab, which is a guaranteed crit, so the higher power you have, the most damage you inflict, the increase in precision would be useful just outside the backside “area”.
Edit: in the post, the forum just changed the word “kitten .a” to “kitten” lol.
