It's a recurring topic but this seems to nail things - critigation seems only to affect the extra critical extra damage and not the normal base damage...and only is really useful for the 2 new Paikang District areas.

My experience seems to sit along these lines but it'll be interesting to see what others think

I have not made any combat log analysis, but by experience, my Tier raiding gear gets me a lot further in Khitai open world and instance than any Khitai gear I have used except my new Yag set that has protection on it when I fight magic mobs like in the KK solo instance.

I just ignore critigation. That is on my Barb. On my guard, my critigation chance is not yet high enough. Due to this ungoing debates on critigation I selected to boots my AA protection before any critigation chance. I don't have Khitai armor on my guard yet, and I can tank the fire boss in HM no problems.

Critigation still seems to be a joke somehow. My guard in full T2 can tank anything without any problem in Khitai except Den of Crowman. Only Den of Crowman (little bird) seems to crit with every hit which makes it much easier in Wolves set or something like that.

Focussing on critigation for any toon in Khitai seems a waste at this moment. I would recommend to focus on protection or DPS first.

this not new actual..
sometimes is like is not working,, i use in my dt that i have 3 to 4 sets of armor ..in palace usual i can tank easy with 50% mitigation(dps specc) last time i use 55% and full crit perk and gear and was take too much crits ..this is a reasson also why i want tiger set in my guard since t2 is a very good set to tank phusical mobs .and the craft is ok to magik ones..stil the khitai sets are prety good,,and is not critigation reason as it seams ..and the amount of mitigated damage as i know.. goes to extra damage that a crit deals.. so if you have 50% and 80% amount... in a 1000 crit that normal is 500 you have 50%chance to mitigate 80% of the extra 500 damage so is a bit weird if work and if not actual..sometimes is like working prety good and some other times is like you dont have at all..maybe group counts or wte who knows..is not the 1st thing brocken here

Den of Crowman is definitely a crit happy instance and if u have to choose between Khitai gear or your T2/T3 then always go Khitai here.
Most other instances are not so sensitive in my opinion.

yes but are you 100% sure that the crits in that instance are the type of crits that are mitigated by critigation. It be interested to do the same instance with the same tank one with T2/T3 the other with Khitai.
