Does Crit ignore Armor?

[Valhallon]

Does a critical hit ignore the armor? Only official answers please.

[Leander]

No, it does not ignore armor. Crit = luck-based (up to 50%). A crit does double damage but the normal armor rules are applied.

if you see differences in hits, it's not (only) because of armor, rather than the damage difference your weapon has (the range between minimum and maximum dmg, which in crits can vary A LOT)
