PVP - Crit% Cap?

shigitoshiey_ESO

Is there a % cut off for critical hit chance in pvp? I have heard that anything OVER 50% to crit will not help when fighting players.

Thats because people use resistance to critics, so anything above 50% is useless, you rather invest that into raw dmg or penetration...

There is no cap. Base critical multiplier is 50% and You can add more by buffs , cp, class passives and mundus stone so You can have critical multiplier even over 100% , however people can lower You base critical multiplier down to 0 if they'll reach 3,3k critical resistance. They can lower only You base critical multiplier (50%) so that added by cp's , buffs, passives and mundus still works and is not affected by critical resistance.

No. Anything above 50% is especially useful.

It completely depends on your enemy. Against players without crit resistance, it's beneficial to stack your crit chance as high as you do in pve. Against players with high crit resistance, you get higher benefits from increasing your weapon damage or max ressources than crit, but crit is still usefull if you rely on proc sets to kill people. Against players who use damage shields, crit is mostly useless.

If impen truly has changed, crit has become more viable.

It's not that there is a cap to crit chance in PVP, but with Impen and Shields around stats like weapon damage and max resource often add more bang for your buck than crit chance.
