0. Critical Strike Abilities, Resilience and You 06/14/2007 11:09:16 AM PDT

We've seen many players report a bug when abilities that activate upon landing a critical strike activate inconsistently when used against a target with resilience. For instance, if a warrior has both Enrage and Blood Craze talents, only one may activate when a critical strike is prevented by resilience.

This isn't a bug.

This is due to the underlying implementation for this feature. The game doesn't actually know that hit would have been a critical hit if not for resilience. Instead we've added a small chance to activate off non-crits based on resilience gear. Each ability rolls this chance separately, so they will only occur together if a player is very lucky.

I wonder how many replies before we get "Resilience should apply to DoTs!!!"

lame!

Challenge every assumption, test every possibility, and never trust your gut. The most deadly combatants are borne of a scholar's relentless pursuit of truth.

WTB DoT crits!

The implication is that one could !!** your mother so often and so aggressively that new orifices would appear where none existed before. Seems sensible enough to me. - Angier

Nerf Warlocks (or buff Resilience), they do damage that completely negates Resilience!

Anyways, it sounds like the developers didn't want to rewrite all of the calculation code to work in resilience and took the easy way out. Nice to finally tell us that you guy didn't implement it like many people thought it should work.

Um...i thought the original announcement was that "would-be" crits would trigger abilities that are entirely based around being crit.

Sounds like a good solution.

Even though on-crit procs won't always happen at the same time, they'll be proccing at the same overall rate - just spread out more.

What about the dots issue?

This is getting so much attention on forums, and you guys simply ignore it. Why aren't you telling us devs response on this issue?
