What determines criticals hits taken?

[Yvonne]

I was wondering if anyone knew which stat attribute determines criticals hits received by the mobs. I know DEX determines critical hit rates delt to a mob, but not sure about it received by the mob. .

I've been told it was either AGI or DEX, so can anyone please verify which one?

[Lordwafik]

mobs dex vs your agi i thought.

[genome]

Yes, your AGI reduces the chance of receiving critical hits. DEX vs AGI in general determines critical hit rate, both received and deaLth.

[Daahan]

put on a lot of -AGI gear and you can see the difference

I wish I was cool enough to fight while dead.

Go TA your tanks on Tiamat or Cerberus and you can.

When I parsed it, I was getting around 1% crit increase per 8-9dex (tried with +30 dex on VT mob). It's not a direct relation for sure, so, don't take that too seriously.

Like other said, it's probably an agi vs dex, but I've no clue if other stats change critical rate

On the KI pages, they say that DEX determines both. That's why I was confused ._.;

So any chance they have bad info?

when i first got bard to 75 and only had errant houppelande, (sorry lockecole, no mahatama houppelande+1) and pulled it burn pties, I would get rocked by crit hits (because of the -AGI on it). I saw significant improvement in less crit hits when I used Osode/Manteel to pull.

[NynJa]

I think its just luck...because my thf loves getting rocked with crits when I'm recasting shadows.

This wasn't determined experimentally, it was spelled out by SE directly in interviews (someone can pull up the link faster than i can sort through my stuff to find it probably).
You can also see this with a parser, but you should use farming mobs rather than xp pts where the difference is much harder to notice.
It is a larger effect when the difference is higher and mob's AGI is not so close (or higher) than your own DEX.

Increasing my DEX and AGI made me better in bed too.

[SilverBreeze]

The last thing you needed Jeryhn is more AGI so it could be over even faster than usual.

I have a hard time believing that AGI-7 (or even AGI-20 for that matter) will make the difference between "getting rocked" and "not getting rocked". Even if the difference was 5%, that's a small difference and not noticeable unless you're parsing, or unless you have the uncanny ability to keep the last 100 or so hits in your short term memory, in order, and can notice those 5 extra crits per 100.

[Raineer]

I parsed sessions with my NPC (bored as fuck), the difference in crits for me on lvl 55 mobs was minimal. 7% with +5 dex, 7.4% with +25

woohoo
