Just giving everyone an update, with the new patch note changes it wasn't clear how they changed it. I'll be testing the changes today. I logged in briefly yesterday and it wasn't clear how it worked now. I'll probably stream it.

You're doing amazing job, this game needs people like you.

thanks @Mayrael

I made a new thread on pts issues because there was an issue with the penalties.

Now many of you are wondering how this effects the damage received next patch so here it is:
Preparation:

we take slightly more dmg now

hardy/elemental

7 heavy/light armor less dmg physical/magical:

same story with crowd control heavy armor dmg reduction as the picture above.

now a typical 7 heavy tank dmg mitigation loss:

we are looking at roughly taking 5% more dmg compared to before, this is assuming they make the penalties multiplicative as well because currently they left them as additive. this 5% is also best case scenario where a tank doesn't stack into the dmg mitigation of the subcategory. If they are a necro and a vampire at 50% hp that 5% becomes more like 15-20% for physical damage. So abominations on the opening part of Bahsei will become significantly harder.

this is because before vampire and necro dot mitigation used to stack with heavy armor bonuses and cp. Now that they are missing almost 20% additives these things are significantly weaker.

My previous post is in reference to physical dmg, since there is a magical penalty for wearing 7 heavy it made the difference less severe so magical dmg taken increase even at the bad end is only like 4-5% and is even less when we are talking about regular use.

Mate Thank you for doing all this. It irritates me a little seeing you waste your game time on things like this instead of actually playing but at the same time I'm glad you are.
Cheers!
