Only explanation I've heard is that crit range is based on damage range, and thus ignores the damage boost that Combo gives. (A Hero's damage range, in the stats display, doesn't go up as the Combo charges). However, Advanced Combo gives more than a 25% damage boost when fully charged... so is crit only ignoring Combo, but not Advanced Combo? I don't know, to be honest. Haven't got a crusader to test this on. I also can't practically test what happens with partially charged Advanced Combo.
The theory was that normally, criticals are 1.2~1.5x your damage range, but for Advanced Combo, it becomes (2 + 0.2) ~ (2 + 0.5)x your damage range since it's additive to Advanced Combo, unlike every other skill in the game. As far as I know, this was never completely proven.
