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.

I haven't done any testing, but, all it does is reduce you being hit by a crit by 25%, the game probably doesn't care what the crit is from, damage, or heals.

You're a Paladin and you don't know it's actually 100% nullifying all crit?

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

Not sure if this was mentioned before or not, but a lot of the tooltips are pretty misleading. One that has really been bugging me for a while is raging strikes...

Raging Strikes says it increases your damage by 20%. Great, so does that mean it works with both melee and casters? Let's test it out! When you use it, the actual buff icon tells you attack power is increased. Going to your menu reveals that attack power "affects amount of damage dealt by physical attacks." So, does Raging Strikes work with casters? Probably not, right? I mean, the icon says only attack power (physical attacks). Buuuuut... it's been tested (and anyone can plainly see if you watch the numbers) that Raging Strikes works with all types of damage... not just melee, and yet the buff says melee specifically. If you cast magic dots with Raging Strikes on, you CANNOT overwrite the spell until it has worn off (thus proving empirically that a raging strikes dot is more powerful than a normal one).

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

That's embarrassing lol

[Jinrya-Geki]

It's the same as Disgaea. If you have a ninja below 25% of his health he only has like a 25% chance of being hit, you also have a 25% chance of hitting him with a heal.

Sephirah clearly haven't looked at it since beta.
It is complete negation of crits now, yeah

[Alhanelem]

Awareness is suppose to nullify CRIT DMG, however it seems that Awareness from paladin also completely nullify CRIT HEAL from any source. This is especially an issue if you are a Scholar. I would like to know if this is working as intended or bug?

PS. I have tested with just me on SCH/WHM with a Paladin and would like to ask the server to report their findings if I can get many players to test it out there will be a large sample size pool to pull from.

Post this in the bug report forum and follow the proper format for reporting bugs and SE will investigate it.

This seems like an oversight, I can't imagine it's intended.

Really, its still correct. Healing is negative damage. If something has over 100% resistance, that damage will become negative, healing the target. (So Physick is actually an attack that has -400 potency)
