Anyone else confused by the battlespirit bit?

"The tooltip for Battle Spirit now correctly states 44% damage reduction instead of 40%".

I thought it was 50% and don't remember it being said that was changing previously...

It means that the 10% damage reduction was calculated over the damage reduction base we had already (40%), not the overall scale (1-100%)

I guess it being 40% instead of 50% is a typo.

@Pepegrillos Oh I see, so we won't feel any difference in PvP with the base damage reduction?

I remember battle spirit always saying 50% damage reduction. If that is correct, adding the new 10% base reduction would make it 55%.

My guess is they realized that last PTS patch was an extremely slow paced burst/heal/tank meta and so they ninja nerfed the battle spirit damage debuff to 40% from 50% and then added in the 10% base mitigation to arrive at 44%

If my theory is correct than pvp damage went up by 56/50 = 12% which means people might actually die now and maybe it won’t be a total tank heal meta

Epic change in the right direction if that’s what they secretly did.

I hope that's it too👍

I think procs and health stacking have more to do with the current meta. I have no idea how that will swing in the next patch. In previous metas I think easy access to mitigation making it tanky.

Damage in PvP next patch I hope will be in a good place. With stats being brought up to procs. I hope people won't be able to health stack and remain effective.
