Shadowy Apparitions do not crit

Hello ,

I tested a bit on my shadow priest with some aoe where I had about 6 adds with all dots up .
I have 30 % crit and tested for about 2 minutes .Spawned hundreds of shadowy apparitions and not one critted .
Is this normal behavior for this or is this a bug ?

They don’t crit but they do double damage if the cast that spawned them crit.

Ok , thanks

Do you know if this is the case for PvP as well , as in will they always do double damage , when the thing that spawned cirtted ?

I mean in PvP normal crits do less % increased damage than in PvE , so wanted to make sure there is no weird gimmick here regarding this as well .

All i have found is

Shadowy Apparitions is a passive Shadow priest ability. Each time [Devouring Plague], [Mind Blast], and [Void Bolt] are cast, a Shadowy Apparition is summoned against each target afflicted by [Vampiric Touch].

Critical strike increase the damage by 100%
[For PVP this could mean its maybe not effectet by the 50%cut ?]
(Here the question if this work with shadow word pain dot crit?)

Extra apparitions are randomly summoned with [Tormented Spirits], and each tick of each application of [Shadow Word: Pain] counts as a spawn chance independently. When combined with [Auspicious Spirits] generating an extra Apparition per target - more chances and more spawns per chance means this exponentially increases Insanity generation in AOE

Apparition damage is calculated on impact and the damage of the apparition cannot critically strike. If their target dies or otherwise becomes no longer valid, the damage is lost.

Your Shadow Word: Pain damage has a 3/6% chance to create Shadowy Apparitions that float towards all targets afflicted by your Vampiric Touch.

Critical strikes increase the chance to 6/12%.
