Patch Notes: Where is the base Critical Resistance?

Did I miss it?

I thought we were getting a base amount of crit resistance to go along with the nerf to impen, correct?

Does its omission have something to do with:
"The data curve governing the gain of Critical Resist stats is currently malfunctioning, and will be corrected in a future PTS patch"

Please let us know.

    From the PTS combat preview post on Friday:
    Greetings Gang!

    To bring more viable stat and set combinations into PvP play, we are now granting a baseline Critical Resistance. In conjunction with that change, we are making several adjustments to item sets which grant Critical Resistance. We also are making changes to the Impenetrable trait by reducing the value.

    Oh great. Another buff for stamina and heavy armor builds since dropping a few impen for block, dodge, sprint cost reduction nets you the same result as full impen currently does + some cost reduction. Unfortunately, there are no such traits for magicka builds.

    Im pretty sure they all apply to magicka as well? Magicka still block, dodge and sprint??

    Current CP : 756+

    I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.


    RIP my effort to get 5x v16 characters...

    They arguably benefit Mag Classes more...

    But that is beside the point. Can anyone on the PTS see a baseline crit resist value?

    Nope, just created a new character crit resistance shows as zero.
    So no point in wasting time testing till they fix it.

    What about with Battle Spirit?

    Very good point. Magicka falls further and further behind. Maybe in a year we will get magicka version of all the OP stam sets....just like bright throat, alfiq, etc. In a year or two we will get the magciak version of titanborn, unchained, etc....ugh. Anyway, yea I agree with you.

    I logged in noCP cyro and only had my armor crit resist, 5 impen pieces = 860, no additional crit resist

    Hopefully they do not give this oversight the magCro Blastbones "We know it's broken but can't be bothered to fix it" treatment.

    What's the deal with this?

    Maybe this is related to it:
    "Known Issues: The data curve governing the gain of Critical Resist stats is currently malfunctioning, and will be corrected in a future PTS patch"

    We are going to have to wait until next week, but my best guess is that they tried to make the base crit resist given scale with your level and some part is malfunctioning so they couldn't release it.

    I thought that was a possibility, however poorly communicated. So I mentioned it in my initial post:
