Initiative is necessary for your survival. Your opponents have ini debuffs. If you had 180 ini, a single +20 ini talisman would reduce your (debuffed) chance to be critically hit by 10%.Vayra wrote:Ini is a requirement for pve tanking, since you want less than 0% chance to be crit (due to instance mobs being higher level). It's not that useful in PvP.
If you have less than 155 ini and you get debuffed, you will have a 100% chance to be critically hit.
At 150 ini you just need 1 more ini to reduce your (debuffed) chance to be criticlly hit by one.
The formula is
Code: Select all
3500/Initiative = %-chance to be critically hit
