Is there a maximum to the % chance of Spell crit's? It's just the other night all buffed up i achieved 33.33% but thought i'd be higher.

Oh and another thing what is the highest Spell Crit you've got up to?

I've personally hit 39% before(I had a moonkin and an elemental shaman, though). And I've heard of someone hitting 50%.

Hmm... frost mage with winter's chill up attacking a frozen target... crit goes way above 50%. ;-) For a few seconds. ;-) I cannot even imagine the 50% crit build/gems/gear. I think you'd gimp your (giving away +damage for +crit) but you'd love the lightning capacitor. I love it on my frost mage, and he's far from a crit machine (especially on bosses).

I've seen my crit chance hit 80%. (with combustion on) =D

My highest Crit chance was 118%. That's right. I didn't crit.

Combustion on a mob 9 levels higher than me = 100%

About a 18% base chance to crit.

Then I went and Crit a lower level mob with Pyroblast. =D

When does combustion have to do with the crit chance with higher level mobs?

C'mon Anobix, you can think this one through.

Higher levels resist more.

Lol. So I had a string of resists that kept upping my combustion all the way to 10, Instead of critting. I came away from that mob (had a friend kill it) with 118% chance to crit, with 2 charges left. Lol.

I took it out on that snake though, (Level 3 critter). Oh he burned to the core.

I didn't know resists counted on it, I thought it would only count on hit spells.

Yeah it was a fun experiement! 118% chance to crit just looks funny.

As a frostie, the highest I've personally got my crit chance is about 78% (I'm at Level 63 right now), but I figure it by simple math...

Winter's Chill = 10
Crit Chance+Trinket = 18
(I forget the talent and I'm too tired to look it up) = 50 against Frozen

So....yeah, I was pretty happy with that.

CombustionInstant 3 min cooldown

When activated, this spell causes each of your Fire damage spell hits to increase your critical strike chance with Fire damage spells by 10%. This effect lasts until you have caused 3 critical strikes with Fire spells.

I don't think that it was that high of a %. It says right in the tooltip that it is only on spell hits which means that you cannot resist.

It may be bugged, because I'm pretty sure I've seen it go up on resists. Also, this is Blizz. Since when have they gotten a tooltip right? Smiley: laugh

That's Loatheb isn't it? And one of the ways that D&T 5-manned him with 2 priests (no threat) back at level 60? :d
