Spell critical keeps changing ?

[Crixus]

I use thief stone and have maxed light armor and have the 12% from champion points. My spell crit with permanent buffs is 35% atm while I'm still leveling but earlier it went to 23% and I checked my active buffs, they was the same and I changed no gear so why a huge drop ?

I just looked again now and it's 42% so it has shot up, without me changing gear, buffs or anything. I only leveled once but your stats go down as you level not up by a huge amount so I'm not sure what is causing the random changes, could it be something simple that I'm missing ?

certain spells will affect your spell crit. also take a look into all your passives.

My passives don't change. And yeah I use vampires bane for extra crit but I'm talking about it changing with just passive buffs. It was steady at 35% for a long time, then dropped to 23% now it's jumped up to 42% all today and without me changing gear, buffs or doing anything that would affect it that I know of.

The precise weapon trait will affect crit chance. Some abilities have major prophecy which affects crit chance, even when just slotted on your bar and not casted. Divines trait on armor will increase crit chance since you have the Thief mundus stone.

You're changing something, you just don't realize it.

I know how major prophecy works and gear that gives crit, I would also realize when I change gear, it's not something you can do accidently. My crit chance has changed 3 times randomly without me doing anything. I am using the exact same skills and gear.

It went down to 23% at one point, not even sure how that's possible when I have 12% from champion point passive, 5 light armor peices with the crit passive and using the thief stone. That is more than 23% and if I didn't change anything why would it go that low? It must just be a bug then.

I'm not entirely sure but maybe your armor had 0 condition, thus negating it's set bonuses. And you got your crit rating back after repairing. What do you think?

That could be it, but I didn't think it worked like that ? I thought it only lowered your resistances from the armor loss. I also don't remeber seeing any other stats change but I could be wrong. If it only affects set bonus though it still wouldn't be the case as I only get around 700 crit from one of the bonuses, not enough for it to change that much.

@Mr. Brownstone

You was right, thank you :)

I must have read so many threads about this and not one person said damaged gear affects your stats, everyone said it just lowers resistances, they must have been old threads or maybe everyone was just wrong, but it's good to know it wasn't a bug, it was really annoying me.

You're welcome, nice to see that your problem is fixed :D
