In Greyhost, wearing 7 body pieces of impen and I have taken 9k shalks and recently took a 20k assassins will. I am completely clueless how that is even possible.
My armor rating is 27k spell and phys. A 2H ult was not used against me nor was the assailant a DK using corrosive. So how do those numbers appear with 7 pieces of gold impenetrable gear?

Because assassins will has been over performing for a very long time and and is way over tuned compared to other class burst abilities3 -

✭But it is not just ass will. It’s shalks as well. These numbers from crit abilities is not being negated by impen it seems?0 -

✭7 impen honestly isn't that much. Don't get me wrong it's a decent amount, but you could just use 0 impen, run rallying cry, and have more.
Maybe look into getting more from CP?
But for the most part it just is what it is. Nightblades hitting huge numbers with crits isn't weird at all, impen or not. And wardens have decent crit damage passives too if they have a lot of animal companion abilities slotted and they put minor brittle on you.

Syiccal✭✭✭✭✭I aim for 2500 without rally and 3000 ish with rally, rally bonus is ypi can run well fitted or what ever and still hit 3k inpen which is roughly 45% crit reduction. The problem comes that like its been said above some nbs have 100-125% crit modifiers so that 45% means they will still hit you pretty hard.1

✭✭✭Nightblades, Arcanists, and Wardens can all reach crit cap really easily, so even with 7 impen they'll still likely be hitting you for 100% crit damage.
On top of that, a lot of it doesn't even really have to do with crit damage - just raw damage. For example, Nightblades currently have access to an unnamed 10% damage buff (for some crazy reason).3 -
Janni✭✭✭✭Yeah, I play a warden and I lean really heavily into crits now. Usually I'm sitting around 40-60% crit chance with 80-90% bonus damage from crit. I've pretty much been running daggers since the end of the first MyM and I suspect a lot of others have been too since they are getting a bit of a nerf this patch,0 -
Oblivion_Protocol✭✭✭✭The point of Impen is to help you survive a little longer against gankers. That’s it. 7 pieces of gold impen gear doesn’t give you much in the long run, and most classes can burst right through it.0
