Guild Wars 2

So the last few days running around on my engi I’ve tested crit chance a bit.

Running with 46% chance with one spec and 51% in another. What I’ve noticed, which at first I thought was some placebo effect, was that with just barely over 50% crit chance it feels like you crit a whole lot more often than with just below 50% crit chance.

In honesty its just a 5% difference, but in game the difference feels much greater. Is the benefit so much great having just above 50% compared to being just below 50%?

It doesnt feel that 45% vs 50% should make much of a difference.

Am I going nuts?

No, if there is an effect it could be explained by a rounding of numbers. Bear in mind math will treat 45% as 0.45 and 51% as 0.51 . . . and by some equations 0.45 will get something rounding one direction while 0.51 will have it go the other. IF there is an effect, it’s math.
