Ever since they 'fixed' the Volatile Familiar so that it did not explode twice, it also will not crit. I'm not 100% certain that it crit before as I did not use as many add-ons then, but I am positive that now with over 60% spell crit and 35% physical crit that Volatile Familiar explosion has not crit in over 1000+ instances.

✭✭Funny stuff, I just buffed my magicka into the 2700 range with 40% spell crit. The explosion damage was so bad I looked through the logs to see what was going on. Once I realized I hadn't gotten a single crit, I did a search for volatile familiar crit and your post popped.
Volatile familiar did used to crit and the crits would show in the damage meter. I'm also pretty sure it was critting before the latest patch (after the fix patch).0 -

✭✭Also, at that level of magicka I should be hitting in the 550 range without crit. The damage seems to vary between 460-490 no matter the mob.0 -

Mobs do have spell resistance. Thanks for confirming that it did indeed used to crit. I could have sworn I saw crits in the past but haven't used Vol Familiar since they temporarily nerfed it down to 12% max magicka dmg.You earned the 500 LOLs badge.

✭✭Sure, but not much, and between concentration and sharpened trait you should see no reduction in damage from the base 20%.

✭✭Let's also not forget the bug we have now where if you press to explode before the familiar summon animation finishes, which is taking way too long since 1.4, it takes your magicka but no explosion.0 -

✭It actually will bug if you try to summon it after using other abilities also.
The one I tested with was liquid lightning.
Cast liquid lightning and then try to summon right after, it doesn't work, but it does still cost magicka.......
This ability is bugged into uselessness.
