Critical hits from mobs do not show as yellow numbers above the avatar - they show as red numbers instead.

This is important - because certain skills (such as Fortify Defense) depends on reacting to when a mob has scored a critical hit on you, and then activating the skill.

Critical hits not showing as yellow numbers - mean that the player has to stare at the chat window to see when the combat log shows a critical hit scored upon the avatar.

Note - critical hits ON a mob from an avatar - do show as yellow numbers above the mob.

Expected behavior - critical hits from a mob on an avatar - should show as yellow numbers above the avatar.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Have a mob score a critical hit on an avatar
2) Observe that the damage number above the avatar is red, not yellow for a critical hit

@Kron Caledon
When I was testing on QA I definitely noticed the yellow text on crits - did you notice the same, or was that missing as well? I can't tell by looking at the combat log screenshot, but since it was not reported - I am assuming that aspect was correct.
Bug #: 55202, thank you for the report.

 

@Lexie

Note that the missing yellow text is from a critical hit from a mob ON you :

- the number above your avatar head for that critical hit is RED

- that critical hit shows as YELLOW in the chat log.

So if you have chat log closed (or don't want to stare at the chat log during combat) - then you can't tell that a critical hit has been scored on you.

Quick difficult to catch the red number from a critical hit in a screenshot - sorry.

 

Yes, I understand, on you not the other way around We're on the same page
Good to know about the chat log as well.
