Critical on shield since update

SIRE · **Joined:** Oct 2006 **Posts:** 9

My level 64 shield has the blue stat "Critical 100 (+100%)" on it. But since the update, I get critted pretty much by both players and monsters.

Isnt "Critical 100 (+100%)" supposed to denie ALL crits? I thought it was like that before the update

Im sorry for my noobness if it never was like that :roll:

I am glad i am a source of amusement to you, but i thought i read somewhere that the number after a stat like Critical or block is just the percent of chance to evade it =/

But if thats not the case, what is the formula behind it?

his previous shields must not have had crit 100%

anyway, no it doesnt deny all crits, just lowers the amount of crits done to you.

how is it possible for a shield to have 100 (+100%)... if it "was" 100, then yeah you would block every crit... but isn't it something like 27-34 max? i don't know cause m not a ss user.

If br would be 100 it would block every hit. But if critical (blue) is 100% it means u cant get that blue any higher. 100 is just a number. not a percentage.

...All these posts and no one explained to him what it really means...

First, of all the stat says

Critical 100 (100%)

What it means is critical perry 100, and that's the max possible (100%) of what it can be increased by.

100 Critical perry may seem like a large number, but block perry on weapons and critical perry on shields have different weights on their numbers, 100 Critical on a weapon would probably be 99/100 cirts or something, but 100 Critical perry would not mean 99/100 critical counter, it might be closer to 30/100 or 50/100. For some reason the game designers decided to give us a magic formula number that makes no sense in comparison to the critical and block numbers.

agreed ..... everything is based on numbers not percentage now ..... so just because it says 100 ( 100% ) crit .... does not mean it will block everything...... all it will do is decrease the chance of a possible crit

edit** didnt see torinchibi's post but yea .... basically what he said

Back in the day (week after blue alchemy update was released) we used to think that crit 100 reduced the crit on the wep by 10, but yeah it just lowers it by some amount that I'm not aware of. Anyway, my friend had a 100 BR spear back then, and he almost never got blocked, which is what led us to believe that... o_O
