Unfathomable Darkness crits?

While making a new Stamblade, I was using Unfathomable Darkness just as a place holder set until i finished leveling Fighters Guild and Dawnbreaker. After a while I noticed that the proc from Unfathomable Darkness was actually critting. So i decided to test it further and would only light attack an enemy until the crows proc and then watch to see if they would crit and sure enough they did. Repeatably. I'm not sure if this is a bug or is intended.

    Yes, it crits. Most likely unintended.
    Everything is viable

    Sssssshhhhh.... Stam doesn't need anymore nerfs.

    Delet dis
    New to forums and stuff so I 99.9 percent probably won't see your response and such, so use the at symbol at me I guess? IDK :/. This BBCode stuff is really cool!! :D.

    My little rant I guess?:
      One day Nightblades will get the buffs we desperately need and deserve, but so far, those buffs are not today.. The Elder Scrolls Online: Nightblade Nerfs Unlimited.
      Don't nerf you, don't nerf me, nerf the sorc behind the tree!.

      CP level 1000+! Playing since 2015.

      My wishlist I suppose:
      • PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEAAASSSEEE EITHER BUFF SIPHONING STRIKES OR REVERT IT BACK TO PRE MORROWIND!!.
      • Bring back purge cloak. But I guess the new heal cloak is more beneficial. Hmmm....
      • MAKE IMPERIAL CITY GREAT AGAIN, BRING BACK THOSE INCREDIBLE DAYS. My best experiences in ESO where in there!
      • Return Stam builds to the power we held in One Tamriel. Long Live Stamina builds!
      • Put Magplar and MagDK into their place. Magpsorc is a hopeless case.
      • Is there any chance that we could get an Ebonheart Pact nerf? #CullingTheHerds .

      I had it on one of my vamps for a while, and, that proccing along with the bat swarm ult was awesome...stuff flying around everywhere...

      I had high hopes for the defiler/infector set, but, just doesn't seem to work well enough to warrant it's use just to get the hunger animation...

      right now I have the birds and a deadroth, from maw of the infernal, acting as my backup in cyrodiil on one of my characters...

      You folks do remember an old patch that made it so that Proc sets such as Selene, Zaan, Mad tinkerer & other such proc sets unable to crit in any way.

      (Sometimes I reckon Mechanical Acuity should be counted as an exception to allowing proc sets to crit.)
      If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

      If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.

      you're wrong - OP has everything to do with it...

      you just don't understand how these kind of things work...

      Which is really sad as set was not OP in any way. I propagated this set on forum because of crits as rarely anybody knew it. Well, 5th bonus is going to be PvP only then.

      The cowardly Wood Elves are best noted for their unwillingness to engage in a face-to-face attack; a Bosmer will strike at you from every side except the front. You won't cross swords with a Bosmer, but you might catch an arrow in the throat. Be wary in forests and jungles, and watch your back.

      try coupling unfathomable darkness with the defiler set.... the hunger from defiler procs on crit damage. it's fun to watch.
