Esu's Heirloom not adding crit chance

This may not be a bug, and apologies if it isn’t, but Esu’s Heirloom should be adding crit chance as a % of move speed.
However, when I equip them, I don’t see the crit chance increasing in my stats box.
Is this actually a bug or will it not show the crit chance increase in my stats?

Im also curious about this too, not sure if the stat is hidden and just “there” or if it is actually bugged. I should at least be seeing around a 20% gain in crit chance with them on.

Yep. Same bug here. UI does not reflect the crit chance bonus which makes me assume we’re not actually getting it.

It only seems to work when you’re outside of town (and dismounted) - shows up as a separate buff icon and the UI value then increases too

Thanks, that worked for me as well.

I am having this issue however being outside of town and dismounted, the value doesnt change and there is no seperate icon anywhere

You need to be far enough away from town (like where you could gallop on your horse) and the buff shows up in the bottom above your skills

That is correct, the icon does show up outside of town.
The new problem now is that the crit chance is very low. I think it’s based off of bonus movement speed and not overall movement speed. The affix description should explain that better. Bonus crit is only 2%-3% and not 25% or so as we expect.

The item does say “Your critical strike chance is increased by 16-25% of your movement speed bonus

Yes and still not working.
I have 13% movement speed bonus on my boot.
And so i get a total of 113% movement speed.

I have a crit chance of 30,1%
The legendary aspect says, i get max roll 25% of movement as bonus crit chance, that would mean 25% of the 13% is 3,25%
I should have 3,25% more crit chance but still have the same amount of crit chance with or without boots.

Don’t look at the stats tab. Look at the icon above where your skills are. Like to the right of the health globe. It shows increased crit there and then if you use evade it should go up quite a bit since there is the bonus move speed while these boots are on.

maybe it is just me but for a unique item these seem absolutely worthless!

I just found these and had the same questions. I found that the boots only work when outside of town as some have said. I did observe my Critical Chance increase by my Movement Speed Bonus which is to say, anything above 100%. So with the boots, my base Movement Speed is 110%. So 25% of (110-100) = 10 * .25 = 2.5% increase.

It’s noteworthy that the boots also grant (with a +% increase to crit from movement speed bonus). Mine grant +25% so I’ll use that for calculations below but the range is +20% - +30%.

  1. +10% movement speed all the time (+2.5% crit)
  2. +50% movement speed for 1 second after using Evade (+12.5% crit)
  3. +14% movement speed for 4 seconds after killing and Elite (+3.5% crit)
    Total just from the boots: +2.5% crit all the time + 12.5% crit for 1 second + 3.5% crit for 4 seconds= +18.5% crit max bonus (but only for 1 second).

Skills that improve this:

  1. Flickering Arc Lash grants up to 18% movement speed for 5 seconds.
  2. Enhanced Flame Shield grants 25% movement speed while active (2+ seconds)
  3. Conduction grants 9% movement speed after a critical hit for 3 seconds.

Total from skills: 52% movement speed increase at 25% = 13% increase in critical hit from the boots. Add in the total boot bonuses from above and that’s a total of 31.5% increase crit (again, only for 1 second). It’s probably more practical to evaluate the boots w/o the evade bonus since you might get only 1 shot off.

It’s not nothing but isn’t active all the time, and you’d improve it by adding more opportunities to increase movement speed through gear or add evade charges.

Edit:

Also, upgrading the boots at the smith improves this as well. Maxed out I the Evade speed bonus goes up to +75% movement speed bonus(18.75% crit) and a max permanent speed increase of +26.5% (+6.625% crit) and + 42% movement speed after killing an elite (+10.5% crit).

Edit 2:

Forgot to include - this item has a shrine buff duration, and shrines increase movement speed bonus by +35% for 30 seconds (+8.75% crit).
