Critical Hit Chance

Reword it better, because as it stands. it makes it sounds like it bypasses protection when it doesn't for critical hit chance.

Critical Hit Chance has nothing to do with protection.

The chance of landing a critical hit, however, does.

Yes but the chance of getting a critical hit with counter does factor with protection. Like i said in the underlying edit.

Used CP gear. Zombies got no crits on me.

Used Crit gear which shot me past 30% chance of landing a critical hit factoring protection. Viola they crit me.

I don't see how your crit % has anything to do with their crit %...

Counterattacking critting is based upon the counterattacker and the one being countered. Whoever is being counterattacked, whatever their crit chance was... Will be added upon the counterattacker's rank bonus. Zombies have novice, so 0% rank bonus. I had 130% crit on my screen, however only 30% of it matters since zombies knock down 100% crit due to their 50% protection.

Now when i had my cp gear on with 80% crit chance. It was reduced to 0% crit chance on counter because i would have done 0% crit chance with charge or normal attack. Get it?

Basically. If you would have critted on them with that attack, they will crit you instead. (If not, counter rank bonus is applied and the crit chance is rerolled)

So ranking counterattack benefits the opponent? How does that work? disregard. mindset opposite mode.

Who exactly is attacking who? The zombie vs you or you vs the zombie?

I attack the zombie, zombie counters. Before you ask why, i was mastering life drain, getting countered is the WM substitute.

What is your protection rate for both sets?

Crit gear has 8 prot. Cp gear has 4 prot.

Something's wrong... This makes no sense. How do they crit you with 8% prot, but not with 4%?

Like i said. Pretend you attack them, if you would have critted them, then their counter crits you. If it doesnt. The rank bonus rerolls that chance.

Counterattack is quite odd. The only thing protection and defense do for you is lower the damage you take in this regard. Makes sense too when you think about 100% prot mobs.

So crit rate does have an effect on counterattack crit chance?

After factoring protection like normal.

Hence why i tried to reword it.

Then why does the page say this?!

“	Critical Hit chance for this skill depends solely on the target's Critical Hit rate after factoring modifiers such as protection, plus the skill's Critical Hit bonus. Player's base Critical Hit rate (character window) is ignored.	„

Because that was me editing it. If you have a better phrasing. Go ahead.

I thought i described the manner in which counter crits in this discussion very well.

I mean the last sentence, which was always there iirc.

I think personally it needs to be reworded to promote a better understand, i have an idea, but it is quite wordy.

I am completely lost in this conversation...
