Was it just me, or didn't this skill used to say something about how the critical hit does much more damage? Now it just says the skill damage of like 10-25 or something.
Did they change this? Or is it just hidden/implied? This would really change my pvp layout...as well as my pve layout.

Ok can a dev please comment on this?
For my lower leveled ops, this makes a huge difference in my skill build, as well as many other peoples I'd assume.

Sometimes they do get over looked, but you have described it pretty well in the title :( maybe a word like 'error' or alike and put in the bug section might have got it more attention oh well, let me know the outcome either way :)

I'll check this out guys. I don't know of a change off hand. More than likely the skill description was changed because it was too long to be displayed on some devices.

In August we made a change to the skill descriptions so they would correctly display the differences between the current rank of a skill and the next rank. At launch there was a bug which made complex skills such as this one show the same skill description for each rank.

There have been no functionality changes to Mind Wrack since launch.

I know you'll ask so here it is. Mind Wrack crits for 20% more damage than most other abilities.

Thanks Thade, had me questioning it after a while but that explanation cleared it up fully.
