why does it decrease? shouldn't u want to have crit hits?

it should be a decrease in how often mobs hit crits on you, not an effect on your crit rate on others. hence the name toughness.

Thanks for your report! I'll alert GMEbilfish to this and have her check it out.

I've always thought that since toughness it's a passive skill it's about the ability of your toon to reduce, decrease the amount of damage you get from mobs hit. So it's a defensive skill, not an attack one!

I'll never forget the day I actually read this passive, i believe i shouted "What the %#@$ kinda passive is this?!" Until someone explained it probably decreases critical hit rates against you...

Felt kinda dumb after... but its wording could use some work!
