Onslaught crit bug?

This is more of a question to the devs, but does Onslaught supposed to be 100% crit chance in pvp environments?
The skill description says we get a 100% crit chance buff if battle spirit is not active, but Onslaught itself is a guaranteed crit right now even with battle spirit, even tho that's not in there.
@ZOS_Kevin any chance you could ask the team, please?

BTW it currently also crits on blocking targets, it still respects block mitigation, but it crits regardless. The splash portion doesn't have the 100% crit chance.

    Don’t be nerfing onslaught please, I have a number of battle axes to take advantage of the guaranteed crit for onslaught I have been using.

    It’s prob not 100% crit chance as I’ve seen it not crit once but crit chance on onslaught is definitely broken.

    After review, we have decided to move this thread to another category, as it is better suited there.

    This definitely is a bug and always get crit on Onslaught. This has been broken for months and this bug needs to be fixed in PvP environments.

    Level 1 2H weapon.

    3 uses of onslaught at 27.4% crit, 3 onslaught crits.

    Proof:

    Assuming Onslaught shouldn’t be guaranteeing a crit on itself in PvP with ‘in Battle Spirit’ wording.

    There is ample evidence that the main strike is a guaranteed crit. I really hope we can get an acknowledgment from the devs that they are at least aware.

    No need for proofs or investigations. I can confirm that the Onslaught main hit is a guaranteed crit in PvP.

    Source: Heavy Attack Onslaught Ganker with around 50% crit rate that has never ever seen a single not critting hit among ~200 hits this patch.
