I logged in to find a 24% boost to my weapon crit. Not that I'm complaining, but it seemed odd. Anyone else seeing that? Or know what might be causing it?

(No, I don't have the Thief stone, and even if I did, the Divines boost wouldn't make a 24% difference.)

    It's a pvp bonus system changed or broken, i'm not sure. Before you could have up to 8% additional crit chance, and not it 2+4+6+8=20% more crit chance if your alliance hold all enemy keeps.

    I checked. I didn't have a crit bonus from my campaign, just a spell power bonus.

    I have been running a 26% Weapon Critical on my NB for a while now, sometimes it goes to 46% if the alliance I am in is winning. Even if I take off everything, I have Weapon Critical.

    Note, I am in PvE, I just wandered in to Cyrodill to see what the fuss was.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    You know that ESO has a lot of strange game features? Sometimes you have all keeps but you don't have bonuses, sometimes you don't have empero but you have HP buff from emp bonus. Sometimes the pvp buff tool tip says you don't have any bonuses at all, but you have them.

    I thpught everyone know how stange this game sometimes can be.

    Right...

    So aside from the game being "strange," has anyone else noticed a big jump after the patch? I'm talking about going from 55% crit to 79%.

    Ok, let me spell this out again.

    My PvP status has not changed since last night, and when my PvP status has changed, my critical strike rating has never been impacted like this. The only time the number has been this high has been when I logged in this morning, so I'd have to conclude the patch changed something for me. Which is why I'm asking if anyone else has seen it.

    Everyone gets what you are saying. It has been like this for about 3 weeks. We are getting 20% bonus crit from PvP even though it doesn't show the buffs on the character screen.

    Either you just noticed it or something happened in your campaign, but most of us have been experiencing it for a while, now.

    Could be something as simple as a changed tooltip display.

    Skadi Storm-Blade - VR14 Altmer Sorcerer
    Brynnhild Valkyrja - VR12 Nord DragonKnight
    Haakon Hardrada - VR12 Nord Templar
    Sanguine's Tester (retired)

    Do you have divines trait on your armor? Patch was suppose to fix that. With right mundus stone, maybe that is what it is.
