Crit damage?
With all the impen running around is it still worth it to stack crit chance and does crit damage do more damage than normal hits vs impen stacking?

✭✭✭✭✭If people stack crit resist to max which is 3300 they have a 50% crit dmg reduction. Most people aren't even close to this.
Every class has a base 50% increased crit dmg, templar/nb's have 10% more.
So if you include cp you'll always hit harder on a crit, most people who actually use impen have around 2-2.5k crit resist which is around 30-38% reduction.
So if you put like 10% into crit dmg then sorc/dk's will hit around 22-30% harder while templars/nb's will hit 22-40% harder.
And thats just with 10%, it's easy to get 15%. Not including any other buff's either, shadow, minor force etc..PS4 EU DC
Current CP : 756+
I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.
RIP my effort to get 5x v16 characters...2 -

Here's the spreadsheet @Crown created to help us visualize how impen performs:

Remember, while impen affects the extra dmg modifier, you can still get a lot of crit for your heals.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire

✭There's another 12% (if I recall correctly) from one of the new sets that I need to add to that spread sheet. It's on my list of things to do along with updates to the rest of the darkelves.com guides.Crown | AD NB | First AD/NA Grand Overlord (2015/12/26)

✭Crits also buff your critical healing, and there is no counter to that, so is always worth invest something on there. Just make sure to have a decent baseline damage, don't rely 100% on crit builds like ppl do on PvE.0 -

Armor of the Construct set is the one you're thinking of, though that name might be obsolete. I think it's probably the Armor of the True heavy set from Darkshade Caverns but I'm just guessing here.
EDIT: Seems that it is actually Hatchling's Shell but the effect is not longer crit protection. Oh well.Edited by WhiteMage on October 13, 2016 6:06PMThe generally amicable yet sporadically salty magplar that may or may not have 1vXed you in Sotha Sil. Who knows?0 -

He's talking about the Medusa set.
I just got the full 5pc and tried it out in pvp last night. For open world, it works for me lol.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire

This^.
Crit can be great, but full reliance only works in pve since your enemy doesn't have a shield or full impen.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire

bantad87✭✭✭At a certain point, stacking crit damage is much more effective then stacking weapon damage - especially if you're wearing medium armor and have decent crit (which you probably do if you're running medium armor). I was running 5 hundings, 3 (or 4 w/ my DW) Leki's, 3 Agility and the warrior stone and had like 4.5k weapon damage w/ surge.
Now, running the shadow w/ only 4.1k weapon damage, I've noticed a pretty significant increase in my damage.0
