My critical percentage is not showing up correctly in my damage

My spell crit percentage on my magicka dk is over 50%. But when I look at my damage meter (FTC) none of my skills are doing that kind of damage. In fact, it shows that most skills are doing around 30% or less crits. Something is wrong there. My other damage meters show the same thing.
However, on my stamina dk, with similar weapon crit percentage, my skills are critting for the appropriate percentage.
Is anyone else having this problem?

    I am having the exact same issue. It definitely seems spell critical chance is not working correctly. I seem to always be critting 10% less than I should be. Other people in my guilds have noticed the same thing.

    Are you guys maybe looking at these values in Cyrodiil? You can not crit someone who is blocking. It is funny that after an extended period of Cyrodiil I can look at Recount total damage and my Crystal Frags never really top 10% crit even with 50%+ crit.

    the new inferno skill which gives spell crit for dks has a visual (Ui) bug, it shows an increase of 20% crit but it only does 10% like all other crit buffs do and are supposed to. This is purely a visual thing.

    Well I took the extra crit into account. For example, I had ~60% crit with the bugged flames of oblivion which should really be 50 percent but I was consistently critting at 40% crit.

    I just saw a post in combat forum that suggests that the 5piece light armor passive (10% crit) is not working correctly, maybe test this.

    Yeah, this is definitely in PvE, not PvP. And even with the visual bug for sea of flames increased crit, I am doing at least 10% less than I should be. On my stam dk, it is showing up as what it should be in the damage meter with weapon crit, but not the spell crit on my magicka dk.

    They did add in 1.6 that all characters have a "base" critical strike chance of 10% and this shows up in the UI but perhaps this is not working?

    I think it must be something like this, maybe if someone tries taking skill points out of the passive and seeing if there is any change? It should be either this, or the base percentage only showing on the UI.

    Same issue, I put in a /bug and a /feedback on it after our serpent kill. Force Pulse on a 700 second fight was at 22% crit while my character sheet says I have 49% Crit. I am using Sea of Flames, other DKS in my raid said the same thing. It appears that the changes they made to fix the stacking of Inner Light/Inferno crit on the PTS actually cause the crit to not work at all for casters when using Inferno (Sea of Flames/Flames of Oblivion).
    The question is have the devs even acknowledged this as a problem. Does anyone know?

    Yup, it shows on your character sheet but NOT in a long fight.

    This was supposedly fixed in the PTS 1.6.4 build, it is not.

    It's a good thing these bugs are being discovered. People's DPS is going to skyrocket once crit issues get resolved.

    Tested it again last night, same results. For an additional test I used inner light to see if there was a difference between that and inferno and there wasnt. Had a templar and a Magicka NB with me and all 3 of us did parses with and without Inner light, their DPS results showed an average crit for a 98 second parse to be within a few percent of their character sheet crit, mine was still 20% (or more) lower, same as with Inferno. Maybe i'm bugged, or DKs are bugged. Not even sure at this point. All of the DKs in both my trials guilds are reporting the same issue, several have switched to stam because their DPS is so off. Others stopped showing up to raid lol.

    Well, looking back at some parses I noticed I have the same on my Sorc actually. With 30% crit every skill (100s of hits over several different fights) is 19-22% crit.

    Are you guys taking into account the critical protection bonuses? Maybe they were changed to lower the chance of a critical attack on you. NPCs could have this bonus no?

    I have 49% crit on my sorc but the actual numbers are off too.

    Yup, that RNG. I get it.

    Still doesn't explain the wild swings with crits using abilitys that were reported bugged on the PTS and then "corrected" in the current live build.

    In 1.5 on the serpent, which is typically an 9-11 minute fight, my heavy attacks (medium weave) averaged out to 81% crit, but my character sheet crit is only 61%. I realize that was stacking Destro crit passive + FoO, but still...the results were more or less what my character sheet indicates they should be.

    In 1.6, same fight, heavy attacks (medium weave) are 19% crit on average with character sheet crit listed as 49%. What i'm saying is RNG aside, i am critting roughly 20% (or even 30%) less than i should be on average over a long sustained fight, which is basically the amount Inferno buffs my crit percent, so how could it possibly be working correctly.

    No response to my many open tickets.

    Yeah, I understand RNG, too. That's why almost 70 vet pledges have given me no valkyn skoria shoulders, though multiple runs through CoA have given me 7 different headpieces.
    However, I have checked this on multiple fights in multiple different situations, and the results are all in the same range - about 20% less crit than my character sheet shows I should have. That is not RNG.

    This is still occurring on my magicka DK, but not on my stamina DK. Do you think it could just be affecting magicka based characters? My guildmate is a templar and is having the same problem.
