I have heard from many people that crit is capped at 50% in pvp but as a nightblade if we build gear for crit chance we can hit the high 80s to high 90s.

    No. It's just an efficient number people like to aim for.

    You need to take into account gear the other players are using to REDUCE crit chance. Your character sheet may say you have 80% chance to crit, but due to the armor trait impenetrable, it gets lowered.

    Crit resistance doesn't reduce crit chance. It reduces crit damage.

    Crit resistance doesn't reduce crit chance. It reduces crit damage. Big difference.

    Ahh, my mistake. It was changed..

    "Impenetrable does not reduce critical hit chance anymore, but it reduces the damage from critical hits..."

    That being said, I'm sure there are some abilities that reduce crit chance for you. Since I don't PvP at all, I don't worry about those stats.

    No worries. I think poisons may have an effect that slightly reduces your opponent's crit chance.
