I noticed that something is wrong with my mitigation in PVE , so I went to check while fighting overland mobs in Stormhaven (Draugh) and than on the Draugh boss

0 points in to Expert Defender
-basic light attack damage from Draugh 1436 damage / 2906 damage Heavy attack
[/b]

100 Points in to Expert Defender
-basic light attack damage from Draugh 1436 damage / 2906 damage Heavy attack

That was not the case before the DB DLC , Exp defender was working properly !!

IT IS WORKING FINE AGAINST OTHER PLAYERS ( tested in Duel )

    Thanks, @RouDeR. This passive actually only works on player Light and Heavy attacks, not monster attacks. We'll update the tooltip so this is clearer.

    Are there others that are only designed to affect pvp that we don't know about?

    It would be nice if this was made more clear in all CP tooltips.

    Hmm, it's pretty quiet in here? Is this thing on?

    srsly, ZOS your playerbase should know these things, and you should explain and document.

    Considering a lot of popular PVE tank builds include CP in this node, this information is not known and should probably be more widely disseminated.

    Time to spend 15K to fix the CP on my 5 PVE characters..

    If we had a specific pvp champion tree we wouldn't have this confusion & maybe have some balance...

    Are you sure? This was working pre Dragon Bones DLC for mobs. I also do not see why it should only be specific to pvp? Mobs/Bosses also do Light/Heavy attacks so why should it not be working?

    Do mobs even do light and heavy attacks? Aren't they all worded as "strike" or stuff like that?

    I always assumed it was common knowledge that this cp was only for PvP...

    Yes it was working pre DB , i used to stack a lot of points there to tank HM Bloodroot , i guess they are too lazy to fix it like a lot other things .

    I was suspicious about this passive too and only put like 2-3 CP in here for the 1 and 2% reduction from leftover CP and fighting a female dark elf that was heavy attacking did not change the damage results. The combat log calls it "Heavy Attack" as well.

    bosses do light and heavy attacks its just called differently. It worked on 4th boss in vhof for example. Maybe they finally categorized those things correctly and now it does not work anymore.

    As others have stated, I would also like more clarification as to what CP's are "PvP ONLY"... because I think a lot of players are wasting CP points because the tool tips are apparently not accurate or do not clearly reflect 'player' versus 'monster'.
