[Bug Report] DK Inhale Heal Unable to Crit

As seen in the image below post zerg tanking fight, while on the damage report the first tick of inhale (does less damage than the final explosion so it's the one slightly farther down the ranks of dps abilities) has a 29% crit chance. Little low but whatever that's just RNG and I'm not running very high crit. However, the healing part of it has a 0% crit chance...maybe if it was only a few hits I could chalk it up to bad luck but 128 hits without one crit? I've checked post fight ever since then and have yet to see it crit at all. With the max number of people you can hit with the tick of inhale that heals being 3 it's already difficult to sustain tanking purely with this skill especially once people spam dark flare or reverb bash or one of the many other healing debuffs on you (if you want to trigger a magicka dk trying to tank just spam them with heal debuffs...guaranteed makes me have to go look at pictures of kittens to calm down). Anyways, inhale is at least a workable heal on dk so I don't want to delve to much into the topic of dk healing here since that's been discussed over many a thread and this is simply a bug report. Hopefully we can get some ZOS attention on this to help out with a *hopefully* easy fix that could go a long way.

    Because the heal is based on the damage and the damage can crit. Otherwise it can be double effected by the crit. It sucks in PvP because even if you crit the player most of the time the damage is reduced by the crit resistance.
    Because I can!

    Figured it was something with double dipping into crit modifiers but they've fixed things like that for other skills.

    Draw essence was a life saver back when both could crit. It really helped make the DK playable while outnumbered but it took a huge nose dive with this nerf/change.
    Retired.
