Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Is it intended, that the Thief stone grants 12% crit chance ?

    What does "quality control" mean ?
    Is that something to do with customer complaints :/

    Seriously? QC is what all products go through to make sure they meet all the standards they were designed to meet. In other words, the QC department checks and verifies that a product is "working as intended" and that there are no defects.

    Man, guess it's time to drop the Thief as my mundus stone. Was hoping nobody would notice. Thanks to the OP for ruining my day.

    This definitely seems like a bug as 5% ---> 12% crit chance is a considerable damage increase, far more than should be intended. As many have said, the shadow buff is well deserved and will definitely bring crit builds back in the mix with the addition of sets such as the Scathing Mage.

    Did you not read where GinaBruno commented that it was intended, but was still up for review?
    This is intended, but we are looking at potentially tweaking it a bit.
    Clearly it is not a bug, but may well be adjusted before it hits live.

    I'm afraid I didn't as I did not find this post despite my extensive hours spent browsing the forum. Could you please link it?

    It is on page 1 of this exact thread, the 15th post down to be exact, and I posted her quote in the above comment.

    I was surprised when I activated the Thief Mundus stone. It grants me 12% crit chance, in 1.6 it was 5% crit chance.
    Sadly we cannot read the first patchnotes of 1.7 anymore to see, if we increased its value.
    Because 12% seems a bit.... too good ?

    This is intended, but we are looking at potentially tweaking it a bit.

    Pls do, 8% seems a more "inline" bonus imo.

    What math are you basing your opinion on?
