Crit Resistance On Armor

csoler1993b14_ESO

hey everyone! I would just like to know how does " Crit Resistance" actually work on armor? I heard all Veteran Rank 10's stack it. Does it work as 60 critical resistance means if a player crits me for 200 the crit is reduced to 140? Thanks for any valuable information.

I THINK critical resistance reduces the chance opponents have to critically hit you.
It probably works as a reversed crit rating (where potions with 300 crit rating would increase your crit chance by ~30%)
Also, i never noticed a NPC to crit me, so it only seems to apply to PvP

I am pretty sure have been struck with a crit by monsters before. Its not very frequent, and usually only bosses do it. I add this resistance to 2-3 pieces of my armor now, and I have never been one-shotted since.

We do not have a way too determine if its a Direct Reduction or a reduced chance either way for tanking its needed, i made a non Crit defiance set of amour and i am constantly being hit by larger hits then before when i had it on, in vet dungeons bosses crit allot more then lvls 1-49, also wanted too point out that if you have a whole set of legendary amour your impenetrable stat reaches 100 on each piece of amour, you could effectively have 800 Crit deff if that was a direct reduction that is huge! If its not a direct reduction and its chance then 100=10% reduction that 80% reduction in chance too crit which is also amazing either way don't matter.
