Unexpected Magic CRT

Added video to the original post.

 

Yes this really indeed is a bug. First of all magic should not crit without weaken ailment and strong element at all. If it was really a feature then your damage should not get mitigated and reduce to like 25% of its value.
The only thing I can think of is that the game is getting confused due to punish ray buff for some reason and displaying the hit as critical instead of GUARD which might be the thing that is actually happening.

Try seeing if you can get GUARD and CRITICAL both at the same time doing this trick.

 

That really makes a lot of sense and idk how could u get to a conclusion I wouldn't never get to, not even in a whole lifespan.
In the original post I mentioned the buggy state of the game lately so maybe that's why.

I do remember the lava flying balls (Savaraan? Saavan? Saaran?) guarding my arrows in fiery volcano but don't remember getting both crt or guard at the same time.

I'll keep you all informed if I ever see the magic crt + guard and thank you so much for all the help you brought to try to find it out.

PS: so much for the magic halbHal build I guess x.x
