Interaction between "Blade Catcher" and "The Brass Dome" - Taking less damage from Crits Hits?

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding a specific interaction between the Blade Catcher node and The Brass Dome body armour.

Blade Catcher: "Defend with 200% of Armour against Critical Hits"

The Brass Dome: "Take no Extra Damage from Critical Hits"

The logic:

If an enemy lands a Critical Hit, The Brass Dome negates the extra damage, making the hit deal the same base damage as a non-critical strike.

However, the hit is still technically a "Critical Hit" event.

Therefore, Blade Catcher should trigger, allowing me to defend against that "normal-sized" hit with 200% of my Armour.

The Question: Does this mean that, with this setup, I will actually take significantly less damage from a Critical Hit than I would from a standard non-critical hit? Is there any hidden priority or mechanical reason why this wouldn't work as described?

Thanks in advance for the clarification!
