Character is not stunned by critical strikes (bloodnotch)

Hi,

I've done some testing with the 60% Bloodnotch and 21/20% PB combo and have learnt that receiving critical hits causes me to still take chunks of damage. I have even tested wearing The Brass Dome so that critical strikes against me do no extra damage yet it still chunks.

Gif 1: Taking individual hits of about 10,000 damage that do NOT crit

Gif 2: Taking individual hits of about 5,000 damage when they DO crit

Despite the crit setup doing less hit damage than the non-crit setup, and me wearing a Brass Dome making the crits do no extra damage, for a reason I don't understand I am chunked :(

Any ideas?

edit 2:

From watching the video again it seems like the real issue is that my character isn't stunned by Critical hits, causing this to happen?




**List of eliminated candidates**

- Not using Soul of the Brine King

- It's not mobs that are unable to stun

- It's not the energy shield being too high, it happens with 100 ES.

- It's not Eldritch Battery, I tried unspeccing that.

- Yes I have the energy shield mastery


From the video we can see its 100% critical strikes causing this, as the monster shocks me when it crits and that's what chunks.

bump, running brassdome+progenesis and only thing that ever chunks my health is when I get critted.

Update:

Looks like we have found the root cause for this issue.

It's actually specifically cold damage critical hits do not stun your character.
