Can anyone help me and explain how I can see the DoT tick damage that firebird gives? Supposedly it should show as white dmg text, but I only see the yellow. Is it something I need to do in options.
yes dot ticks like haunt and firebird no longer crit, so youll have to turn on whatever the option is to show all damage not just critical damage as drildgen said
They do crit, but they tick like *50 times in a second, and it only shows you the damage once every second. All those *50 ticks would need to crit for it to appear as a crit. (*random number, probably much higher)
They don't crit. DoT damage in the likes of Firebird, Blizzard, Haunt, Locust Swarm, etc. deal normalized damage based on your CHC and CHD.
It deals flat damage, period, every time, depending on your stats, modified by buffs/debuffs you apply. Firebird doesn't tick 50 times a second (nor does it tick random times per second). It deals 3000% weapon damage per second with damage displayed at 0.8-second intervals.
Not all DoTs tick at the same rate. Blizzard ticks 5-20 times per second over 6 seconds and displays damage every 0.8 seconds. Non-Wicked Wind ETs tick 13 times over 6 seconds. Frozen Mist ticks 27 times over 8 seconds. On and on and on.
Not sure where you pulled your info from, but... wrong.
His info is old. That was the explanation given a long time ago for things like disintegrate not critting. Also his statement wasn't that it is a random number of ticks per second but that he wasn't sure what it was so he made up a number.. (50).

Firebird DoT value = (30) * (0.8) * ((MinDmg+MaxDmg)/2) * (1+INT/100) * (1+CHC*CHD/10,000) * (Buffs)
