PLD major bug or HUGE tooltip error? (dev read here)

It is working as intended. A Critical is a Critical and most games do not differentiate between Critical + (heal) and Critical - (damage). It would require quite a bit of recoding (and an entire overhaul of the damage system) for a separation of Critical Heal and Critical Damage.

This is why he said a tool tip error in the OP. The Tooltip states: "Nullifies chance of suffering critical damage."

And my response was aimed at Garnatian for his comment at 'how little effort' they put in.

Yeah, and cures are negative damage, so it's still sadly accurate lol. Either way, in Yoshi's mystic quest to give us an over simplified battle system, there's a lot of universal quirks like that and still plenty of tooltips and abilities (and zones) still listed in Japanese as well.

Or with references to Beta.

Most games do not differentiate between the two... By most games do you mean FFXIV ARR and only FFXIV ARR?

if (dmgAmount < 0)
// Don't apply awareness or other ignore crit abilities to nullification
else
// Continue processing as normal.

Oh man, don't hurt yourself writing that fix.

I was coming here to post that lol.

This has to be an oversight, the skill is already mediocre.

You know, assuming it's actually written in the standard way - SE is known for a lot of..non traditional methods when it comes to programming. (Usually more complicated than it needs to be.)

Wherever it checks that awareness is up to not roll for a crit, it should also check if damage/potency is less than zero to see if it should ignore it. It was already about to see if it would crit and for how much.
