Reduced PvP critical damage is a confirmed bug
Zirene confirmed the bug. No fix date was given, so current duels do not show the final critical-damage balance.
Views: 0
Status: 1.60.1.70009. Confirmed bug. Current-build fix not verified.
Description
On September 29, Zirene said reduced is unintended and will not remain. This corrects the earlier assumption that the observed result was a hidden balance rule. The original reply names neither a fix date nor a build.
Effect
Avoid rebuilding a character solely around this beta result. The confirmation concerns critical-hit damage. It does not establish lower critical chance or half of all damage.
How to reproduce it
- Compare normal and critical hits in a duel against the same target, with the same gear and one ability. Save the combat log.
- Report build 1.60.1.70009, both classes, ability rank, buffs and both damage values. An isolated critical number is insufficient.
- Repeat the same test after a new build. Bug confirmation does not mean today’s values have already been fixed.
What players report

September 26 test: normal hits 45-60, critical hits 70-90. One character’s conditions, not a universal formula.
