Its hard to find a definitive answer on this one, and the wording in the tooltip is a little ambiguous, so I'm asking the experts. Can anyone confirm whether the +3% crit effect of 3/3 Backlash is passive or whether it only applies whilst Backlash is active? The tooltip says:
|
Increases your critical strike chance with spells by an additional 1% and gives you a 8% chance when hit by a physical attack to reduce the cast time of your next Shadow Bolt or Incinerate spell by 100%. This effect lasts 8 sec and will not occur more than once every 8 seconds.

which
could be interpreted as only giving the +3% crit when the "effect" is active. If it were indeed a passive effect, I would have expected this to appear in my character tab, but this is not the case. Looking at a recent WWS result, this 3% doesn't seem to be incorporated into my SB crit rate. Could it be that the +3% crit from Backlash only occurs when Backlash is active?
Apologies if this has already been explored.
