Should Resistant be giving critical resistance or does it just reduce the crit damage?

I have about 15 champ points into resistant but zero crit resistance. Does resistant just reduce the incoming crit damage or should it be giving me the 6.6% crit resistance?

    Resistant - Reduces the amount of damage you take from critical attacks by X%

    It reduces incoming critial damage as a % before your Critical Resistance is accounted for, whereas the 'Armour Focus' passives actually 'increase your Physical Resistance'. Same for Spell Shield, which 'increases Spell Resistance'

    So is my display saying zero crit resistance most likely a tooltip error? We just got the feature displayed on ps4 so it may be bugged.

    No, it isn't an error. Think of your Spell and Armour Resistances, they give a flat amount of Resistance which comes from your gear.

    The only way your Critical Resistance value will increase is from pieces of Impenetrable on your gear, which provide an amount of Critical Resistance. This is similar Spell and Armour Resistance.

    The CP passive REDUCES incoming critical damage as a % before your gear Critical Resistance is counted. It can't be displayed on the character stats.

    Makes sense now thanks for explaining.

    You're very much welcome, I should've make it more clear from the first comment though. :)
