Spell Crit got nerfed?

cote-bmsb16_ESO

Hello,
I had 5 Divines (7.5%) on a 5 set of Seducer, and had the Thief's mundus stone and used Mage light to get my spell crit to 49%. After the 1.5 update, I'm wearing the same gear, using the same mundus stone, Mage Light is on, and my spell crit is at 34% .
Anyone have similar issues with a loss of spell crit? Or ideas how I can get that crit back? I didn't see any mention of this in the patch notes, regarding traits or mundus stones.

Does it have anything to do with the update skill points being returned?

Were you getting any spell crit from PvP buffs and your alliance has lost ground in your home campaign? Or you are playing in a guest campaign where your alliance does not control much?

I checked out what you guys mentioned @thesongoftimeb14_ESO‌ & @Dagoth_Rac‌
I have Mage Light morph Inner Light IV, and that increases spell crit by 20% (unchanged)
I have 1 alliance spell crit bonus for 2%
Thief stone spell crit bonus for me is 5%
So I took off all my gear, and I was sitting at 7% spell crit with the Thief and AvA bonus.
I put on my gear, (5 pieces of legendary Seducer armor with Divines) each has 7.5%. My spell crit chance was back at 18.8% spell crit.
I took off one piece, it didn't change spell crit. I took off 2 pieces of divines armor, and I was then at 18.1%. Then I took off 3 pieces of divines armor, and now at 7.7%.
Im wearing two pieces of Divines armor (7.5% increases mundus stones effect by 7.5%), and my spell crit is at 7.7%. Then I stripped down to 1 piece of divines, and I'm at 7.3%
I think Divines trait is screwed up, or maybe its the Seducer set? I dont know.. Sending a ticket I suppose. That math ain't right.

I also switched my mundus stone, and then switched it back to the thief^ That didn't help me

Divines isn't supposed to increase your stats directly. It increases the effect of mundus stone by a percentage. So each piece increases your spell crit by 7.5% * 5% = 0.375%, with 5 pieces it sums up to 1.875%.

When you took off the 3rd piece, you probably lost 10% spell crit bonus from light armor passive.

10% light armor + 2% alliance buff + 5% thief buff + 1.875% divines traits => there you go 18.875%.

Still no idea what's up with the numbers in your first post, though.

The divines bonus is too minimal for a crit build, you should go for impenetrable. Divines are more for "stats maxing", not powerful enough for a crit-build (e.g. faster ultimate reggen)

NotSo

I think crit chance should be nerfed anyways but Impenetrable should be changed to decrease damage taken from crits instead of decreasing chance to be crit

Sitting around 50% and definitely getting fewer criticals than prior to 1.5.

My percentage shows correctly, but in practice, I am certainly not getting 50% crits.
