Wanted to ask this to see if anyone knows, as it seems conterintuitive, but im not sure if it is a bug or not. In PVP i have minions equipped that give -83% critical hit chance. Critical hit cap is 80% so the idea is that skull builds arent likely to 1 shot me when i kill them on turn 2 with my spell build. Just before i faced someone with 75% critical hit chance. This became 0% in ga.e on turn 1, with 1 V large gem on the board. They have (i forget the set) that gives +7% critical hit chance per V+ gem. At this point even if they were allowed to overcap crit to 82% i wouldnt know as i give -83%. My turn concludes, there is at least 2 V+ gems on the board, and for the first time in a while i am critically hit and defeated. Is this intended? If so, is this setup so that: A. Player has 80%(110%) crit chance, i give -83%, they start with 27%. B. Player has 75% crit chance, i give -83%, They start with 0% but can gain crit during the fight and go from 0% \> 7%. C. Player has 75% crit chance, i give -83%, They start with -8% but can gain crit during the fight and go from -8% \> 6% D. Player has 75% crit chance, i give -83%, they start with 0% but can gain 5% crit during the fight which would be what they are naturally missing in order to reach the 80% cap Edit: if jeto sees this and would like data, i have screenshots and such. ---

Players can go over 80% critical hit chance. So even if you subtract 100% critical hit chance, they can still have 80% critical hit chance. Usually you see this with Bloodfang Twinblade, but it isn’t that common, because other than tourney (not sure if it counters confuse or not?) its kind of a waste of your ability gear slots. But I guess for an endgame player, why not right? ---

I believe it is as follows. The player has corrupted I set bonus that gives +7% critical chance per big gem on the board. - With 1 big gem on the board, their critical chance is 75 + 7 - 83 = 0% - With 2 big gems on the board, their critical chance is 75 + 14 - 83 = 6% Even if crit chance cap is 80%, the minion reduction applies to the uncapped critical chance, which can be greater than 80% due to attributes and gear. So even if you use 2 max cunning minions that give -100% critical chance, the enemy can still crit you if their uncapped critical chance is above 100% (which can be done with corrupted I set bonus, bloodfang twinblade and/or lots of critical chance attributes). ---

Dont know how i didnt see this. This was my most likely guess, but its good to get some confirmation. Thanks! I personally dont like this way of things interacting, but as long as i kniw i can at least prepare.
