Can mobs and NPCs crit?

The question is pretty straightforward. I was just wondering if the impenetrable trait is worth anything in PVE.

    PVE enemies don't crit and have no crit resistance, which is part of why things like Twice-Born Star with Shadow/Thief Mundus...es are so effective. Crit stacking means they melt like butter.

    Officially no.

    Until you read a patch note that says "Mob X and Boss Y will no longer be able to critically strike you."

    Fun fact:

    Originally enemies could crit, including bosses. If a tank was not using Impenetrable to reduce critical rate (the trait used to reduce crit chance instead of crit modifier), they may die spontaneously to a boss's critical attack. :o
    They removed this RNG aspect to combat in I forget which update (before 2.0).
