Yeah visual bugs. In morrowind, my glyph tooltiped for like 1734 but hit for 1900. Oblivion I think can technically crit, but has a crit modifier of 0. I've seen floating combat text displaya crit for it many times, but it's always 1900.
Could be it's being counted as Direct Damage and being mitigated by that one CP node.
Whether that's it or not, the damage reduction from tooltip to strike certainly doesn't seem intended
Afaik the direct damage star incorrectly increases the tooltip damage of the glyph. Just a visual error. At least that's how morrowind was. I haven't played hotr yet.
