The damage variance between a Critical Hit and a Non-Critical hit.

[GaiusDrakon]

Is absolutely disgusting.

Talking about Bard in particular:
A max gauge Apex/Blast Arrow Crit's for upwards of 40k, a Non-Crit hits for 14k.
A 3 gauge Pitch Perfect Crit's for 38k, a Non-Crit hits for 14k.

How is that much variance, almost THREE TIMES the damage, acceptable?

It feels absolutely disgusting with 2515 Critical Strike and still never hitting a single Crit on your big abilities.

does it really matter unless you're running parse runs in PF chasing high 99s

but yeah, reducing the variance would be fine. idk why people think that is the same thing as reducing complexity or proc-based decision making
