The expansion also introduces new statistics in relation to critical damage. Many of the new armor pieces will have a new ‘critigation’ statistic that allows you to mitigate critical damage.


They couldn't call it resilience. No they had to go ahead and massacre the English language trying to shoehorn the concept of WoW-style resilience into a word that they think makes it non-obvious they grabbed the idea from WoW. (Actually it makes it more obvious by making everyone think "why the hell would anyone make up a word like critigation - ah....").

Otherwise the new stuff looks great and the game's really enjoyable.

But seriously, critigation? Don't make me come to Norway and critigate your ass!

Azazel:
Shoulda called it Mastication!
 :awesome_for_real:

Sir T:
Yeah, but mastication is actually a word

1.
to chew.
2.
to reduce to a pulp by crushing or kneading, as rubber.

Thank you to the film Arachnophobia for increasing my vocabulary  :grin:
