Yes definitely worth.
Even with high prot mobs, magic damage scales better. And while combat rating does work on BTD’s dot, fire combat rating does not and only improves the combos themselves. And Funcom liked to put a lot of fire combat rating on hox gear so yeah…
Once you have t5 rune, you can start caring a bit more about combat rating (the wb hox cloak for example) as that will make your finesse hit harder: against high prot or shielded mobs you’ll spam hellfire strikes 3+6 to maximize the amount of finesse hits you’re getting (combined with BTD and HFB of course). But without the rune, you just go full magic dmg/intelligence.
