Bugged crit rate?

[Reeco]

Damage meters has been reporting my crit rate at being 5-7% below what my character pane says for about 3 weeks now. Has anyone else ever had this? I don't know if it's a damage meters thing or my character is bugged somehow.

My damage is fine, but it's kinda bugging me not knowing what's causing this.

Have you been fighting nothing but raid mobs? The character pane shows crit rate vs. a mob of your level

also, some warriors have experienced similar problems, but those solved themself by re-equiping their gear.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, the info is based on MC/BWL raids, but nobody else's crit is being shown that reduced and mine never used to be. Interesting about the warriors - did they literally remove all their gear and then put it back on?

Happend once on my rogue when I came back from an instance I had 500 less health and about 7% less crit rate (didnt check other stuff). reequipping everything solved it. Kinda wierd though, yeah.

Tarnor is right about this ... it depends on teh creep...!

[amgyn]

your crit chance is based on the creature you attack? that doesnt seem right.

Your crit chance is based on your weapon skill, and how that relates to your target's defense skill. If a creep is level 63, it will have a 315 defense skill while you will only have a 300 weapon skill.

Tanks take advantage of this. by equipping gear with +defense on it, they reduce the attackers chance to crit them to something much smaller.
