Is it when the MOB is Enraged by any chance?

Nope, I am talking about PC's that are fighting along side me. Here's a small example of a few seconds worth of their combat:

[Mon Aug 14 21:02:51 2006] Monk scores a critical hit!(4966)
[Mon Aug 14 21:02:51 2006] Monk scores a critical hit!(106)
[Mon Aug 14 21:02:51 2006] Monk scores a critical hit!(-1)
[Mon Aug 14 21:02:51 2006] Monk scores a critical hit!(1892)
[Mon Aug 14 21:02:53 2006] Monk scores a critical hit!(-1)
[Mon Aug 14 21:02:53 2006] Monk scores a critical hit!(1156)
[Mon Aug 14 21:02:53 2006] Monk scores a critical hit!(4158)
[Mon Aug 14 21:02:53 2006] Monk scores a critical hit!(2994)
[Mon Aug 14 21:02:54 2006] Monk scores a critical hit!(4728)
[Mon Aug 14 21:02:54 2006] Monk scores a critical hit!(2978)

Amazingly strong monk! What's almost more disturbing than a monk having an average 2500dps, is the negative (-1, -3) numbers I see a lot during these flurries. I am not positive, but I think these huge crit numbers appeared after we got AA's to stick. Not sure they had Crits before then? I am not a monk, so I do not know for sure.

Had this problem today with a shadowknight, we tested it some and he discovered it's only durring when the monster he is killing enrages... no other time

Sorry to bump and old topic, but since it pertains to this I thought I'd just post here. The cleave items are bugged, but I think it's just Cleave II items added with Combat Stabilty AA. FNW mentioned that since the level cap has been raised the code hasn't been updated and they'll probably get around to it.

Thanks for the bump, now I don't feel bad adding info. HAH. j/k

Something (I think) we discovered was, when the crit damages fall into the negative like that is when the mob is "engraged" and cannot be hit. Rather than the attempt becoming a miss, it seems to crit for -3 rather persistently.

Not sure if this has anything to do with this entire thread or not.
