As a GWF I can't seem to understand why critical increase the normal damage more than power as I would assume power is the fundamental of the normal damage...right?

And critical only multiplies the normal damage depending how "lucky" you are.

So tell me did I say something weird because I thought I understood the basics of how most MMORPG's work in these kind of stats.

    Where did you get this idea?

    Because I had a sword with 1K+ power and a sword with 659+ power and 169+ critical.
    and the sword with less power still did 22 more damage than the sword with 1k power so it must be the critical that also effects normal damage

    To be sure I even asking in the zone chat and it seemed like more people knew about this...

    Beholder right? I answered you in chat also. You shouldn't have been seeing those results, as you noted they do two separate things. I'm assuming you're talking about damage logs? Because you know those things can really vary a lot.

    I'm assuming you're lv60 also, since they both scale differently according to level IIRC.

    Also silly question, but i'm assuming the actual weapon damage was the same for each item.
