You landed a crippling blow with your bow, not a critical hit. I've never played a warrior, but I surmise therein lies the difference.

Crippling blows are critical hits when a warrior is under 25-30% health and goes into his berserk frenzy, and doesn't leave it until 45% or so. I tend to stay down there for DPS if the mobs are not tearing me apart. So Crippling blow = Critical hit for all intents and purposes, afaik.

I agree, it must be checking against my bow atm, and I did get my handmade hickory bow out of the bank and bang a couple sticks into a ghould in EC last night at the tunnel. Mob was invulnerable, as was air elementals (trains to tunnel ent lol)

I guess having never played a ranger, and only bow pulling on live with my warrior, I have a very vague recollection of how archery mechanics work. I do remember I was probably the only master fletcher in the guild, and spent hours making silver tipped arrows for guildies.

Thank you for your response [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Gonna do a little more digging in bug forums, if i can't find anything I will submit a report (forgot to check resolved area last time, although I assume search covers all sub forums)
