Pre-update it was 60% to bypass if critically hit in eyes on 1 luck character, did tests then and did tests now, the results show 30%, previously there was no further improvement of protection past 5 luck witch would stop at approximately 30%, i have no idea what are the numbers on characters with luck > 5 right now or luck > 1 in matter of fact, it's easy to test that actually.

My first PvP build of the session was a laser sniper and I took RBtE and knew about it, the character planner was out before the wipe so I am sure many people knew about it and planned ahead.

so you took rbte instead of mc even though it was clearly inferior for half a damn year as the above table shows?

John, at first all we had was this description, that was at the very first days of wipe and players who get their builds capped at first days had to make some blind decisions and i made one too ...

Doesn't it sound appealing? Helmets are no protection! How can you not take that perk? ;D
and it reduced both critical chance modifier and power, witch wasn't all that bad, i was glad that i didn't do a wrong choice at first, but it didn't last long and Solar ruined everything for a long time. It was either more critical chance, health points, action points better choice a long time, but it didn't screw my gauss build completely. :)

Agian assumption you do not my build how would you know if I took more critical or not? T-888 is talking about bypasses more criticals perks give more of a chance to cause a critical not every critical is going to be a bypass. RBtE is a necessary perk because we now have critical defense on helmets it has always been useful I do not know where you think its useless its necessary for any eye/head shooter PvP build. Otherwise if you shoot some guy in 100% combat helmet your criticals won't roll as high and you do shittier damage -20 on critical table is a big step between doing x2 damage with knockdown or x3 damage with crippling effecting or knock out.
Bonhead gives +10 critical defense to heads and eyes, the top helmet is 100% combat helmet with +20 critical defense, man of steel gives +10 critical defense to all parts that can be targeted. So that is -30 on a critical roll total to targets shooting somebody with these 3 things how is RBtE useless? It is necessary to shoot somebody with full crit defense perks and traits. Your target well have -20 crit defense on head with right between the eyes and full perks but its better than having -30 on critical table and doing a shittier critical. Also not every build has bonehead, man of steel, or use a 100% combat helmet.
If you do the math for somebody just wearing a 100% combat helmet with no man of steel or bonehead that is only -10 critical defense if you shoot this person with RBtE.
This session is all about countering builds if you want a big gunner to do good vs snipers and laser snipers you bring a full crit defense build, if you are trying to kill tanks you bring a crit burster the game has become more measures and counter measures than just playing one uber build for every PvP battle. Everything has a weakness, there is no ultimate build, and sadly snipers well never be this session, 50 hex range has its advantage it has its uses but its not the greatest build to mass swarm with these days becuase so much has been programed into the game to lower critical rolls.
