Guild Wars 2

Could it be that your sample space is just small? I haven’t ever really noticed this not working, though sometimes I go 3+ hits without critting, even when it’s supposed to be at 75% crit. The odds of a chain like that are low, but it can still happen.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

I’m looking right at my characters information while in and outside of DS.

Pic related.

Doesn’t display the 50% the tool tip claims?
I’ve tried this in WvW/PvP/Orr

EDIT: this picture was taken in WvW

I don’t know what is wrong with your game, may be a bug. I have 52% crit chance out side of DS, and I never have missed a crit in DS, hence having 102% crit chance in DS with this trait.

Oh what. That’s crazy.

Taking a look at mine right now. One moment.

Oh, mercy me. This might get embarrassing.

It looks like Deathly Perception doesn’t show up on the char sheet at all. I tried for a while, different locations and in/out of combat, but my crit never changes.

The 20% you’re seeing is from the Master Minor in Curses. Gain Fury for 5 seconds when entering Death Shroud.

That should clear it up.

You’d think the information would still change inside the char sheet?

EDIT: Yeah… can’t believe I didn’t notice fury.

You would think, but it’s possible that the char sheet doesn’t take “special cases” into account, like DS crit, or some other class-specific mechanic. I guess an analogy would be Warrior Adrenaline. Does the char sheet show crit bonuses as adren levels rise with the associated trait? I’m actually not sure.

It’s probably a convoluted list of things that do/don’t apply to the char sheet for whatever variety of reasons. At least with Deathly Perception, you should be able to trust it.

This is GW2 and we’re playing necromancers. I trust nothing. lol.

All crit chance increase traits, that are based on a condition (the guardian onehand trait also doesnt show), seems to not show in the char sheet. And for me it always works so i guess it works as intended.

What is actually embarrassing is that you didn’t understand this mechanic. This is true for tons of traits. Not everything updates your character sheet, it has nothing to do with being Necro.

yeah, my passive fury in DS doesn’t seem to stack with the XII trait either.

As i said before it works as it should. And it also stacks with fury. So if there is a bug it is only that the crit chance isnt shown correctly in the char sheet, but thats not something necro specific so it doesnt belong here.

In fact, the character sheet isn’t updated.

However, the Demon Angel build testify that this trait is working as intended ( 31 (base) + 50 (trait) + 20 (fury) = 101% crit chance ).

Last but not least, I pointed out that 101%crit chance in the char sheet is the requirement to get the effective 100% crit chance. Again, please keep in mind that 100% crit chance in the char sheet is truly 99% crit chance.
