Do mobs now do critical hits?

Hi, sorry if I missed this but I've seen a lot of people talking about impenetrable traits use and I assumed it was for pvp. Last night while doing the gold pledge I notice our tank was generally losing about 20-30% life from the mobs big hits but every now and then he'd lose up to 80% from what looked like a single blow.. Was wondering if thisis due to critical hitting mobs or something else.

Non PC's don't crit.

They just hit like a truck outright.

His gear was probably damaged because he forget to repair or he wasnt blocking at the right moment.

Mobs dont crit, although some IC bosses can do 29k non-crit hits so they one-shot most players.

There is a boss in this game that can actually score critical strikes on player characters, but he is the only one I know of.

The mob I am talking about is the boss of the Jokudan stage in the Dragonstar Arena. For those who dont know he is a sword and shield tank DK. As a DK he is using the "Flames of oblivion" version of the old inferno, buffed up to boss levels obviously. This spell provides him with a small critical strike chance for all his weapon attacks.

Ah thanks knew they couldn't crit before patch but want sure. Pretty sure he was blocking but guess it may be something simply such as his stamina was low.

Then why are all armor pieces from the Tel Var merchants have all Impenetrable traits?
