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

[Valarice]

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.

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.
