Critical strikes

Critical (implying you hit a critical area) strikes should not do less than max damage+1. While this may require some balance chances such as decreased maximum critical damage or less chance to score a critical, I feel it would be overly beneficial to the game play.

well from in my opnion i dont see a need for it too change as the high damage crits are easy to get if you make sure you weapons skill is the same or higher then the enemy lvl

yes, i do agree that a 2 crit is slightly rediculous.

I do not think that that is true... If you have a damage 1-16 ability/weapon there's a lot of chance that it's going to hit for less than 16 on a critical. In my opinion a critical strike is something you should really feel, not just a bonus to damage. Not to mention the absurdness of getting a critical strike of 2. What did you critically hit? his fingernail?

Personally I think a critical hit is hitting a vital part of the body, ie the head, neck, or stomache area(soft flesh!), meaning if you do a grazing hit for 1 damage on the shoulder, if you hit him in the neck the exact same way, it does more damage cause its a vital part, but then again your only grazing it so its not going to be ALOT of damage ...

This is a good point. Though I still feel it would add something to the game to have critical hits work in a way other than "a hit that did a damage plus a multiplier" Honestly, who's going to enjoy seeing a flashing number that is just their normal damage range?

well damage increases as it you lvl skills and besides you can increase the crit damage by lvling overcrit

Personally, I think archer damage is sick enough without making their crits to a minimum of max damage+1.

But if you're talking about melee crits then sure, boost em. It still won't get even half as close to an archer's damage but it will help.
