Is it intentional for this to provide 20% crit? or a bug? (Leveling ele atm)

It gives 20 + 2 * level. The flat +20 has a big influence at low levels.

so 20% chance + 2 * level in precision?

20 + 2 * level precision. So at level 10 you would have +40 precision. 20 you would have +60 precision.

I had a signet build on my warrior at lower lvls XD 100% crit chance at lvl 20 was amazing! killed anything and everything in two hits.

Which is why the latest patch made the trait that made that build strong at low levels scale to character level. It isn’t anywhere near as powerful at low levels anymore.

At OP: As a heads up, the signet’s effective value decreases as your character’s effective level increases. The signet’s bonus to precision increases linearly (same amount of precision per level) while the amount of precision required to gain 1% crit rate scales exponentially (i.e. the increase in precision required for additional crit also increases with each level). At level 5 when you can unlock the signet it’s worth about 18.4% crit rate. At level 80, it’s worth about 8.6%. Still a fair amount, just be aware that it gets worse slowly as you play in higher level zones.
