General

• Fixed an issue where some effects were reducing damage taken in an additive manner, rather than a multiplicative manner, resulting in more mitigation than intended and creating some situations where 100% damage mitigation was achievable. This affects the following:
  • Hardy Champion passive
  • Elemental Aegis Champion passive
  • Preparation Champion passive
  • Heavy Armor’s martial damage taken reduction
  • Heavy Armor’s damage taken reduction while CC Immune
  • Light Armor’s magical damage taken reduction
