Anyone noticing this? use to hit for about 5m+ (not consistent but periodically) on test dummy, now it barely crits for 3m (Extremely rare now) 2.4m (consistent crit).
No nerfs to HoL just pushed a lot more mastery into it.

Well then, take off mastery gear and show us how it goes up with some pics for comparison.
Quality data here.
Would have to get an entirely new set so it doesn’t mess with the str. This is not something I am pushing as fact, it is an observation of what I have seen. I did have about 3-4% crit and a bit more haste back when I was running other gear. If no one else is seeing it then it is likely something else at play that I am not taking into consideration.
Don’t you have rings or necklaces with mastery to switch out?
Well yeah, there is, if you’re not tracking stuff like:
Judgment is 20% and of dusk and dawn is another 30% dmg… they matter extensively. Make some weak auras to track them easier.
And btw, when casting Hammer of Light you add 2 stacks of Judgment debuff, but the hit was without, so always make sure it exists on the target from actual Judgment before throwing out the HoL.
No it does not.
You’re missing something, I don’t know what but you’re missing something.
Tooltip says 882k (966k with Mark of Khardros activated) for me and I’m 631 with mostly BIS, stack a 20% from judgement, 30% from Dusk and lets pretend you hit it with fully stacked crusade (30%).
I could have more strength with Sacbrood active but lets run it like that.
That’s would be a 3.9 millions critical hit.
If I removed a ring with mastery it drops, to lower damage, it doesn’t go up.
You’re 610…
You weren’t getting 5millions hits on dummies at least.
Maybe in a group with some additional amps (Warrior, Monk, DH, augvoker on top) and a gimmick mechanic that makes you hit harder for a short amount of time.
But you weren’t hitting 5 millions consistently…
Your memory is failing you.
And from the look of it you only PVP on your Ret so you for sure weren’t getting 5millions crit since it is heavily nerfed in PVP.
100% was getting the 5m crits on pvp dummy. Did it get heavily nerfed on pvp since they buffed it? maybe thats where it happened because I was 100% hitting 5m crits on pvp dummy.
It hits for 80% of its value and it has been since at least 11.0.2…
If you were getting those on a PVP dummy it might have been bugged or you had some other amp you don’t recall.
There’s no way you were routinely getting 5millions crits.
I know PVP gear boost you up to 636 in PVP, that would help getting there but a 20% penalty coupled with PVP trinkets instead of pure damage ones?
5millions crit is a tall order even in the best of circumstance, much less routinely getting them.
They should increase its dmg by like 80% but make it unable to crit or something, the spec is just SO boring atm, if it crits it matters but if it doesn’t then it’s just a filler ability and the “empyrian hammers” most of the time hit anything but your target.
zzzz
It was consistent enough that I could see them at peak line up, but def wasnt consistent where it was every hit or even every other hit, or even third, but it was possible to hit those numbers.
But I digress, if no one is seeing that type of change then more than likely it was something going on. Right now I can crit 3.4 MAYBE 3.8 on a test dummy but nowhere near the 5+ I was getting a couple months back. Been gearing weekly and it just felt like the numbers were lowering so I felt since the only thing I changed was mastery that maybe made the difference.
Oh and I also forgot that Crit in PVP is 1.75 instead of 2 times the damage.
3.8 in PVP would mean 5.4 Crit in PVE.
3.4 would be 4.65
So maybe you were hitting a PVE dummy close to a PVP one, activating your 636 gear but not being penalized by the modifiers.
For pvp, with every potion and buff possible you can only get 1.7million HoL sometimes in PVP on player hits. Enjoy getting 3million sometimes in pve and be grateful before they change the agreement another time.
YES there was a pvp nerf to HoL, unfortunately.
Unfortunately there’s always a PvP nerf. It’s the nature of the beast.
Oh, Ret has a button to press or a passive? Better pvp nerf it, just to be safe.
