Magelight and Hunter Suggestion

Instead of boosting Critical Chance for the user, it should reduce critical chance for enemies it touches.
IE:
• "While slotted, gain Major Savagery and Prophecy, increasing your Weapon and Spell Critical rating by 2629."
becomes
• "Exposed enemies have their weapon and Spell Critical rating reduced by 1650. This effect cannot be purged."
Critical builds are still broken in PvP because healing and damage are tied together by the same stats. Unless you plan on splitting those up, this is my suggestion. Critical builds should be a PvE thing so it makes rebalancing sets and classes less punishing for both sides of gameplay when it's one side that is abusing a feature.

✭✭✭No thanks. Your suggestion would delete this skills from being useable in PvE as only players can crit in eso.
There has to be another solution for issues in PvP, which doesn't break skills for PvE players without need.Never get between a cat and it's candy!

Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.6 -

✭✭✭✭✭yeah this sounds like an awful change
to do what your asking without destroying the skill you could add crit resist buff to the "use" part of the skill instead of removing the buff for having it slotted
you could make the useable the anti-stealth + like 2000-3000 crit resist, since the buff only lasts for about 4 secondsplays PC/NA

i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them
feel free to stop by and use the facilities4 -

Same difference, but if it makes people in PvE happier then I'm ok with this alternative suggestion.0 -

✭✭✭Critical builds are still broken in PvP
Try blocking. It prevents you from being crit unless it's with an ability that can't be blocked (e.g. Haunting Curse)
Nevermind, you can be crit while blocking but its reduced by your block mitigation. See comment for details.

Actually you're right. I always thought you couldn't because Combat Metrics logs says "hit" when you crit a blocking enemy. Most players have 80-90% block mitigation so I just didn't notice the crits. Here's a quick confirmation.
50% base crit damage + 0% crit damage modifier
2869 crit resist = 43% crit damage reduction
50 - 43 = 7% crit damage
Not Blocking
513 -> 549 (7% crit damage)
Blocking
159 -> 170 (7% crit damage)
It looks like the ESO API Lua EVENT_COMBAT_EVENT doesn't have an ActionResult for Blocked Critical. It only has Hit, Critical and Blocked separately. That must be why Combat Metrics always shows blocked attacks as hits and not crits because it can't determine if the blocked attack was a crit or not.

You can also check this with sets and abilities that proc off crits, which will still go off even if the crit was blockedLeader of Lycan Syndicate, PC NA's tri-faction werewolf guild.~~~Played since the beta, got the monkey.~~~"The blood of the pack is now yours.
