Can someone point me in the right direction, still learning mechanics of the game, there are things I can't wrap my head around. Like how do players mitigate 90% damage? example, Assassin's Scourge on NB, 16k tooltip, now with the impens, blocking etc..I can understand 50-60% damage mitigation but how are they mitigating 90%? 16k tooltip is only doing 1.4-2k damage.

    50% Battle Spirit, 50% blocking (blocked dmg cannot crit), up to 50% (~33k) resistance gives you up to 87.5% mitigation already. Plus additional sources of resistance like Champion Points and Minor/Major Protections and Maims and other unique sources (block mitigation bonus, damage limitation like Magma Shell and more).

    So basically there are tons of ways to mitigate the incoming damage.
    Everything is viable

    Maybe because of shields?
