Hi,
I would like to know if there are factors that influence the amount of critical damage that is done with spells, melee and archery.
I don't mean the crit rate, as that is a base chance that can be influenced by Wild Power/Mastery of Pain/Falcons Eye and others.

Is crit damage always inbetween a fixed percentage range of the damage done in that hit? For example 25% to 75%? Would mean a hit of 100 damage could get a crit between 25 and 75 damage.

Or is crit damage dependant on a spec or a stat?

So how are the mechanics? And are these the same for spells, melee and archery, or are they different?

afaik the value of the crit is not affected by anything but the random generator.. I think there was an extensive thread on vnboards but couldn't find it.. darn search function! gg

Hmm there must be other things that affect the critical damage amount besides the rng, because a lvl 5 char does less critical damage than a lvl 50 char
But is it the
- basedamage of the hit that the crit belongs to?
- total damage of the hit that the crit belongs to?
- total damage cap?
- whatever?

Crits are 1%-100% random on mobs
1%-50% random on players
Only berzerkers can do 1%-100% crits on players

I'm not sure but I though that weapon spec could rise the % of the critical damage

% of the total damage of that hit, the crit belongs to?

E.g. I hit a mob in melee for 150 base + 50 styledamage, then the crit can be somewhere between 2 and 200 dmg?

False.

you can crit on mobs for up to 100% of the final damage you deal

You perform Linkdead perfectly (+42)
You hit the network connection for 100(+16)
You critical hit for an additional 1 damage

You critical hit for an additional 50 damage

i think the formula is like this:
pve:
real dmg (dmg after resists) * 1 * random (range 0.01 to 1)
rounded to a full value, at least 1

rvr:
real dmg (dmg after resists/pd/whatever) * 0.5 * random (range 0.01 to 1)
rounded to a full value, at least 1

Alright that answers it, thanks.

actually the range should be 10%-50% of the original damage. Crits less than 10% should not be possible.


I don't have any tests to link you, but I am sure this is how live worked.

Im sure i got hit by a Bolt from Ysesh which killed me instantly and it was 7xx +9xx!. Don't know how this could happened, it was at a relic raid (we defended).

Well, i sometimes had a higher crit then base damage dealt when i hit someone with a bolt (just baseline one).

Maybe another Bug in the Bolt Code? :p

kill shots damage can bug, its just a display bug AFAIK and has been around a long time. Early on in the game there were screen shots of DoTs that killed someone ticking for 1500+ damage on the killing tick.

Or it could be some other bug associated with bolts on uthgard, I dunno.
