"Crit Me With Your Best Shot" Node Needs Clarification

GrandOldKai

After suffering through 6.3.6's boss, I noted some very strange interactions between the titled Node, Destructive Feedback and... the defender in general

The description of Crit Me With Your Best Shot says

"The Defender takes 100% less damage from Hits that are not Critical"

This is probably an archaic description, yet my implication of it would be

"The Defender is not damaged by hits that are not Critical" meaning that damaging debuffs should still do damage... right?

Except they don't.

What the node should say, is

"The Defender takes 100% less damage from any source other than Critical Hits."

However, its interaction with Destructive Feedback is very weird ‐ despite the implication being that "since the defender takes 0 damage from hits, Destructive Feedback would reflect 0", this is seemingly not what happens... though I'd need to test that further (not that I want to repeat that fight)

Anyway, to conclude - is the description of "Crit Me With Your Best Shot" wrong, or the actual effect of it?

I'd imagine the latter, though.

Description for crit me with your best shot should definitely be changed. The interaction with destructive feedback is fine though because destructive feedback says it stores any ATTEMPTED damage by the attacker. The attacker attempts to deal damage on non-crit hits, so that is stored.

Crit me works the way it's intended i suppose since it's pretty old and used a lot including BGs. The description should be " only critical hits deal damage".

As for destructive Feedback, many nodes have this issue where interactions happen based on what might have happened rather than what happens. Thing triggers protection on flux dispersal even when you deal zero damage because it would have triggered protection has flux not been there
