The new critical system will ruin Legendary PvP

The test realm notes when the new critical system was in the test stated that there will now be less chance to block to apparently make game-play more balanced. Yes critical counts for way less at level 100-110, but at Legendary there is no real difference. Pre Polaris 224 critical on my level 60 fire counted for 44%, now the update is live it 224 critical counts for 42%.

So the chance of getting a critical has been lowered, but the chance of blocking has also been lowered too. The problem is the chance of a Legendary getting a critical has not really been lowered, but the chance of blocking has. So level 60 wizards have a lower chance to block and almost no change in the chance of getting a critical. Unless the chance of legendary's getting a critical is lowered or the chance of blocking is raised it is going to be very broken.

There are so many things wrong with the new critical system. In my opinion it should be taken out of the game completely although I do have a critical fire pvp wizard and this will up his chances of winning I can still see that this is broken and unfair. Also another thing ruined by the new critical system is life critical heal. With out that ability to critical on a heal life has become no doubt worst school in the game, not even joking. If wizard doesn't fix this it might become a big issue.

Just did a practice match with a friend to test it, I was on a level 60 with 120 block, faced another level 60 with 180 critical. Out of 20 criticals I blocked 1. Something needs to be done about this or Legendary PvP will just be unplayable

Obviously hasn't been thought through. If the chance of blocking is being lowered EVERY levels chance of getting a critical should be significantly lowered. I gave up on Exalted PvP and only take part in Legendary PvP, now that has also been ruined there is nothing left to do but leave.

I feel your pain from this. Its not only broken for pvp but for questing now, I have a pretty good fire and now that they've changed the system I hardly ever critical or block. Its really sad to see all the hard work people to literally go to waste. Most of my friend are quitting because of it, its sad and disappointing to see wiz do this, I'm hoping they will change it back before its to late and they lose ALOT of people who really enjoyed the game.

They should've just kept the normal critical system like they've been asked. Tragedy in the spiral, it is now. Good luck seeing any use for Life without jade now.
