Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if I’m missing something, but my ranger does a lot of critical damage and has very high critical chance but I don’t see the critical damage. It seems all I see is the base damage and not the critical damage. Unless having 70+% crit chance with 63% crit damage only nets around 1.5k damage. I don’t know but that’s all i really see. And there’s no way I can be doing so low damage that the 1.5k is the critical damage, that would mean im only doing around 600 or so damage per hit. Being level 80 the 600 is less than the base damage. So am I missing something in the setting on seeing the critical damage?
If not then please make all critical damage show or at least big letters saying CRITICAL.

It is listed as a percentage because it is telling you how much you have added up on the armor. The damage displayed from the attack is because of the damage done on the attack and not all attacks will dish out the same number every time and your critical damage is based upon that variable if you got a crit.

If you see red splash with numbers when attacking, that should be the crit.

As for seeing your critical attack (stat), it’s a combination of your attack and critical damage.
crtAtk = Attack * (150% + crtDmg)
to be exact, but calculates at the end. So with 50% crtDmg, your criticals deal double the damage of normal hits.

As for the damage floaters; As CreativeAnarchy said, you see numbers with red splash (blood ?) when you crit.

And as a reminder; Some mobs are immune to crits. Alot world bosses carry this attribute. You’ll never see crits on them.
