Guild Wars 2

My char is on more than 50% passive critical chance and I play on berserker set so the changes with Deathly Perception came in handy, but it looks like there is a bug..

Even with more than 50% chance + fury, when I enter Death Shroud with Deathly Perception on, I do not ALWAYS critical. In fact there were times that I didn’t strike a critical 2 times in a row, with over -theoretically- 100% critical chance in Death Shroud.

My question ,is there a cap on crit chance ?
If not, have anyone else experienced -non critical- hits in DS with over 100% critical chance?

I think there is a cap on critical chance, basically so you can’t crit with every single hit.

That being said I never tested it myself, this is just what I have heard from others.

mine works perfectly fine o_o
base 32% crit. While under fury and in DS I always crit. if you have a base 50% it should be working regardless of fury, so idk =/. All I can say is: are you sure you have the right trait on? =P

I had foot in the grave the first 2 days and I was wondering why I don’t always crit, but then I changed it, I did crit almost all the time, but there were some times that I did not, of course it is very rare, but when it happens, it will be 2 in a row..

Edit: By the way, it only happens with Life Blast, all the hits of Life Transfer crit all the time,dark path and tainted shackles also.

Were you under effect of weakness for glancing blow or did you attack mobs higher than your own level?

Nop, also my issue doesn’t have to do with World Bosses. I am unsure of what is going on, but something looks buggy, this is why I made this post, no one else is having similar issues?

I have noticed this as well i run PVT gear so my crit chance is low (like 10%) when i used the trait i was disappointed because i feel like i crit maybe 20% of the time.

Im thinking there may be a bug here and i bet we get a hot fix…. although i feel like the trait may be too strong if it worked right lol at least for power builds.

If you want to test it straight out, just go into HotM and put zerk on with the piercing trait, then you can shoot like 5 golems at a time and see if any don’t crit.

There is a cap. I remember reading about a warrior with over 100% crit chance and failing to crit like once every 30 hits. So its a small chance but it does happen.

i recall whilst levelling my warr he had 100% crit chance at low levels (40 prec per signet trait) and was critting 100% of the time
