I look forward to this challenge on my NBs. Not looking forward to seeing that "spontaneous combustion" though lol.
Me neither lol. Flare's radius is also comically large. It feels like they doubled it's reveal due to just how massive of an area it covers. One is enough to cover an entire gate from bombing runs for example.
Oh boy. This should get interesting lol. Thankfully my shade game is on point.
Can't wait for the update to hit console. I'm eager to see how hard it will be to be a ninja.
Tbh. I am running Flare now on my NB to get "only" that free 7K armour (10% free dmg mitigation). It is kinda crazy that you can get equivalent of WW pack leader passive or stronger effect than 5pc set, just by casually slotting (not even casting lol) a skill...That's pretty huge. If people refuse to slot counters now?
They deserved to die to a gank.

Major Protection reduces damage by 9% with 6600 armor (10%)
Major Protection reduces damage by 8% with 13200 armor (20%)
Major Protection reduces damage by 7% with 19800 armor (30%)
Major Protection reduces damage by 6% with 26400 armor (40%)
Major Protection reduces damage by 5% with 33000 armor (50%)
For example, a 10000 damage hit is reduced to 5000 with 33k armor. 5000 damage is reduced to 4500 by Major Protection (-10%). 500 damage is only 5% mitigation (500/10000).
This also applies to other sources of damage mitigation like Vampire Stage 3 and Buffer of the Swift set.
The real question is, where in the ladder does penetration count?
Is it;
Armor value> Armor value after penetration > Protections/Vamp etc. ?
In theory, if I have 33k armor, but someone attacking me has 22k pen, I now only have 11k armor, thus getting 8-9% damage reduction from major protection, vs. the 5% if the person hitting me has no pen.
Does this seem correct?
(Totally derailed my own thread and went off topic. lol.)
