Improving Crit Score

justin8mypants · May 2014

My player is a heavy armor wearing two handed weapon Templar. My current crit percentage is 0 and I am level 34. I haven't found any passive abilities that will help me increase this. So are there any other ways?

Not for heavy armour...
Exept that mundus effect called "The Thief" which is bugged.
If it was fixed pls correct me.

Medium armour have a passive which gives you physical crit for every piece of medium armour on.

Light armour have a passive that gives you spell crit when you have 5+ light armour pieces on.

Magelight/innerlight in the mages guild skill line gives you 7 - 20 spell crit.

Theres a mundus stone that improves crit but as someone said it might be bugged, not sure on that.

I don't think there is anymore passives that give a consistent crit bonus but there are some that improves crit after use but I don't remember the name sadly.

Seems strange that there wouldn't be any bonuses for heavy armor/two handed players...

could put a crit trait on the weapon, its not much, but better than nothing. . . . maybe.

Crit trait? I didn't even realize there was one

stevenpotter321b14_ESO · May 2014

precise I think it is called, can only go on weapons though

Is there also a softcap for crit rating?

stevenpotter321b14_ESO · May 2014

dont know for sure, Im sitting a bit over 30% with my nightblade atm, with only 5 medium, crit traits on dual weapons. It would be higher, but I think Ive bugged passives, and if I was a cat I could be pushing over 50% I would guess with passives, racials, armor, set bonuses, and mundus stones. Sometimes I envy the cats, not enough to be one though.

I got 36%. also the thief mundus stone doesnt show on you char stats.

You should really play a 5/2 or even better 4/3 heavy/medium combination, medium passives help with crits and stamina regen, 2 things that help melee characters

Yeah the basic one (white quality) gives you 3% crit and spell penetration

On top of the trait there are also crit glyphs. Certain racial passives increase crit, and I think (not sure) that DW skill line has crit boosts as well as bow and staff. Oh. Crit potions/foos can boost crit to 100%+ atm.

If i do go ahead and do a character with 5/2 heavy to medium or 4/3 is it worth giving up say 30-50 points of armor for a the extra crit? Does it make a big enough difference to be worth the armor?

Depends on your role and if the armor loss will matter much.

I have weapon crit, even though I am not melee at all. But no spell crit. I did take Thief mundus after the patch, and it seemed to work until I logged out, then disappeared.

I wish there was more for spell crit at early levels, but looks like I will have to look into set bonuses also in the future.

thief shows up on mine - with three pieces of armor that give 4.5% mundus stone bonus and the theif + mages light I am at 39.5% spell crits
