After playing around a bit with different equipment builds.
I noticed how Critical Damage is a lot more expensive on some parts compared
to the others.

The stat costs

Helmet/Legs: 1% = 16
Rings: 1% = 16
Back: 1% = 16
Chest: 1% = 14.4
2H w: 1% = 14.2
Earring: 1% = 13.3
1H: 1% = 12.8
Amulet: 1% = 12.8
Shoulders/boots/gloves: 1% = 12
. .. Orb: 1% = 7
Exquisite . ..: 1% = 5

So counted that going for full cd would create a huge stat loss.
While taking crit dmg on Jewels and Orbs would create a stat win.

So how many stats is actually 1% crit dmg worth?
Compared to trait lines 1% is worth 10 stats, while compared to jewels 5 stats.
I suspect the high rate on jewels is made to make up for the loss due
to rounding on gear. But that doesn’t remove the fact that someone could
make use of this gaining a good defense with decent not too glassy dmg.

A raw unascended example build with 0/30/30/10/0 which uses what I explained:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAsYFmA2eAAAAw9AAAAorAAA-jkyAYLioxceATeKrZPo2wQ06DhVvgpKFS1lR2bUEtaA-w

2007 power (3007)
1706 precision (42%)
1480 toughness (2544)
1340 vitality (15 045)
87% crit dmg
——
6533 stats
87% crit dmg
——
And after a minor alteration with some slots:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAsYFmA2eAAAAw9AAAAorAAA-jkyAYLioxcuwayLhZPo2wQ06DhVvgpKFk1lJ1bUEtaA-w

2006 power (3006)
1722 precision (42%)
1464 toughness (2528)
1325 vitality (14 895)
86% crit dmg
—-
6 517 stats
86% crit dmg
a loss of 16 stats and 1% crit dmg
—-

Doesn’t look much, let’s put full berserker..

2039 power (3039)
1998 Precision (56%)
1216 toughness (2280)
1016 vitality (11 805)
104% crit dmg
—-
6269 stats
104% crit dmg
Compared to the build on top, a loss of 264 stats and a gain of 17% crit dmg, 1% = 15.5
—-

What would be the optimal build to you other thieves?

Modified and completed the top build for usage with Dagger/Pistol in case someone is interested.
