Crit Reduction

[CeeJay89]

I've been trying to find something on the forum to confirm this, but nothing concrete. Do we know if crit reduction is capped at 0%? So if I get Futile Strikes, and have a -12% crit chance...will it be...

Case 1) Enemy has 30% crit chance. With -12% crit chance, will it drop it to 18% chance to be crit?

Case 2) Enemy has 30% crit chance. With -12% crit chance, it's still 30% because it doesn't impact their built in crit.

Basically, does crit reduction only affect initiative based crit or does it affect ALL crit, including their bonuses?

Sorry if this was answered elsewhere, but I can't find anything concrete with the search function.

It does negate enemy bonus crit chance yes, you can have negative chance to be crit

Wasn’t this tested a while back, where someone with a negative chance to be critically hit still got critted by an opponent, who theoretically shouldn’t have been able to do so?

No matter what, then it should be pretty easy to test again.

Yeah Dabbart did the testing IIRC. I will see if I can find the posts, they were from a couple months ago.

I run full crit redux build on my healer and more or less only get critted by full combustion fireclown

I tested this with mixed ressault.

-6 to be crit vs a SH with 5% crit chance and crit happened.

Another test with -16 to be crit vs WE with 15 crit chance and crit never happened.

My conclusion was that tactic, renown, buff and gear crit and anti crits all works differently.

it depends on how high you base chance to be critted is

i'd say you have bout 10% to 15% base chance to be critted (based on your initiative) minus the reduction and you end up with around -10% chance to be critted

what do you think works better? Renown Futile Strikes, or renown Ini, or gear anticrit, or gear ini?

I assume you did, but just gotta ask, did you take into account the "invisible" 5% basecrit? Actually not 100% it's a thing, but iirc it is.
