Guild Wars 2

Dear arena net how come 126% crit dmg produces same dmg as 85% on hundred blades ?
I tested this with 96%crit chance on 126% crit dmg and had around 80% on 85%.I have 3500 attack and around 11 stacks of might.It did dmg of 12 k tested on mob in orr several times.
Is this broken game mechanic or there is some diminishing return on crit dmg that they secretly implemented this patch ?Or is it just lets kitten up secretly hb so nobody notices?
Does this means 90% crit dmg is enough for warriors now?

I think it’s diminishing returns. Seen that myself recently too. Best thing to do now is find the sweet spot for it and use the remaining slots to bulk up defense

Explain how a percentage-based readout of crit damage would be subject to diminishing returns. It’s the values of arbitrary numbers such as strength and precision that are subject to diminishing returns, not percentage-based modifiers like crit-damage.

I’m not saying OP’s test of this system is valid by any means, it sounds like a pretty poor test in actuality. But replying with trendy words like “diminishing returns” when it has absolutely no application is silly.

Maybe the 30% crit damage from Discipline trait line aren’t registering in the actual
calculations? They made changes to that trait line so it might be a bug.

I think it is better anyway to have some sort of middle value, not all bunker and not
all glass cannon, but somewhere in between. GW2 is team game, and going all glass
cannon makes it hard for you to help your team mates, and makes you somewhat
of a burden, as they have to res you all the time. It’s not just about damage and dps.

Ah my bad I read crit chance. The amount of precision would have it. My bad y’all. Crit damage might be bugged due to the trait changes
