pvp criticals 

i was just looking through some numbers on red tomax's coh page, and it says that when a scrapper gets a crit, it is non-resistable by other players. this would only apply to the extra dmg that was added on, not the total dmg. does anyone know for sure if that is correct or not?

RE: pvp criticals 

Not so sure:

You normally hit with attack A for 100 damage. However, your PvP opponent has 20% resistance to your damage type. That means you'll only deal 80 damage. If you crit, you'll deal 80*2=160, at least that's what I think, based on my own experience.

RE: pvp criticals 

It is 100% correct that scrapper criticals are 100% unresistable.

But like Red Tomax says, it's only the critical portion that is unresisted. The normal damage from the attack is still resistable.

RE: pvp criticals 

So in the previous example...

100 damage/20% resistance.

80 regular damage would go through.
100 critical damage would go through.
