PCs normally have an Critical Multiplier of 1.3. So 30% Critical Mitigation should be enough to completely mitigate a critical hit made by a player. (But there are some AA that increase the Multiplier in the Shadow tree so it is only partially right.) But we don't know how high the Crit Multiplier of raidmobs will be. It might be that 2.0 is the highest we will encounter. Then 100% will remove all criticals, but it can also be that 1.5 or even 3.0 is the highest we ill encounter. With the first 50% would be enough. For the second you would even need 200% Critical Mitigation. Soon we will see how much we really need. ;) Like written in the original thread Critical Mitigation does not work like it is described here:
