Ok so I’m looking at my level 30 Ranger and going over the combat logs…I don’t think he ever crits….I never see the red text showing a crit during combat, and I never see a crit in the combat chat box. Am I missing something? My char has 44% crit at the moment. Damage is always about the same with no evidence of any crits.

You may be confusing yourself between critical chance and critical damage. Even if you didn’t add any precision, there is no way you’ve never crit.
I’m not sure if you can distinguish critical hit from normal in combat log but it should be very clear if you crit during combat.

Watch the numbers above the enemy’s head. I think it’s white damage for a normal hit and red for a critical.

Since when did this business of being a hero become being a business?

Actually, when you crit the text appears larger than normal (uncritted) attacks. I am pretty sure it stays white but I cant verify because I am not at my computer

If the number over the target has a little red splat behind it, it’s a crit.

You are correct, it took me a few goes but here’s a pic.

Crits don’t show up in the damage log. So you’re just going to need to look at the actual splat for damage. It’s annoying.

You definitely do crit, my necromancer has 4% crit chance and still crits on occasion.

In other games the text colour is different, makes it more clear than this.

Also true, just remembering the 19k damage out of 25k health on my 3.6k armor character.

Would be good if console sums damage+crit of X skill/atack, but people would rage due high damage taken lol.

This^. There is no possible way you’ve never critically hit an enemy. My condition Elementalist basically has 1% critical hit chance, and I see crits every once in awhile.

Crits do show up in the combat log, they just don’t look different than normal hits except for the higher damage number.
