I think my question was unclear. The DoTs themselves will never crit. Here is what I mean:

Let's just say I am shooting a mob with no armor or anything and I have no serration or elemental mods. So, we are just dealing with the base damage. The initial hit will do 25 and each tick will do 18 (18.75 rounded down). Now let's say I crit with that intial hit so I do 37 (37.5 rounded down) damage instead. While the ticks don't crit themselves, will they now tick for 27 (27.75 rounded down) or stay at 18?

I am asking this because the tick calculation is definitely taken before body part multipliers are put into place but I am trying to figure out if the crit multiplier is done before or after the crit is calculated.
