• Mundus Stone buffs are now working properly again.

@Worstluck do you have any data/numbers on its current % crit damage increase?

Alright so some basic math here
362*1.033=373.946
so that means your crit damage is increasing by around 3.3%

lets assume you are a caster with 50% crit chance
0.5*3.3=1.65 so your overall damage is increasing by 1.65 %
now the thief mundus stone gives 5% crit chance this will increase your overall damage output by 2.5 %(because crits do 150 % damage) .

Basically under most circumstances The Thief mundus stone is better than the shadow, unless of course you're going for a big stealth opener and trying to burn down your enemy in 3 seconds for pvp.

So generally I would have to say pick The Thief mundus stone, unless of course you have a crit chance of 76% or higher at which point The Shadow mundus stone will provide a greater overall damage boost than the thief.

Thanks for the math @forthewinn2 !

Yes I had assumed it would be 5% at least. I am not sure if there is anything about that NPC, my gear, or skills that could affect the crit damage bonus of the Shadow Stone. I should probably test on different NPC's, as I am pretty sure many of those VR1-10 NPCs are still borked.

Just did a quick test. VR12 Nightblade template. 7/7 medium armor. I equipped one Dagger and used heavy attacks against a VR10 Sabre Cat.

362 w/ No Shadow Stone
374 w/ Shadow Stone active

This is without wearing any items with divines trait, correct?

Yes. If I remember I was naked except for some jewelry. I didn't test anymore though. It's definitely worth testing this stone on live to see if it's working.
