EQ2Interface - [Live] Update Notes: Tuesday, March 20, 2012(0)

CRITICAL MITIGATION REMOVAL
Critical Mitigation (the stat) has been removed from the game.
NPCs no longer use Critical Bonus to add to critical damage.
Buffs and debuffs that had Critical Mitigation elements to them have had those elements replaced with other elements instead, so that those buffs/debuffs do not lose effectiveness.
Critical Mitigation values on adornments have been replaced with maximum health bonuses.

NOTE: This change has no effect on PvP game play. The ?PvP Critical Mitigation? stat is still useful for game balance in PvP play and is not being changed.
