As you see its basically no dmg reduction at all, even with the voidbent having onyx gems.
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of this so I decided to test it for myself. We really need an official statement from New World Devs on if this is intended? If it is then why are you ruining end game progression for PVP players? I’ve worked hard to get my armoring, smelting, weaving, tanning, and woodworking up to 200 to be able to have a chance to craft high end gear and now what is it for? PVE only? I can half way understand why yall added pvp scalling to the game so that lower level ppl can stand a chance but once you hit 60 all scaling should go away. A 60 vs another 60 should be no scalling at all imo.
Tested in outpost rush with the same results. I can only assume its the same for wars. Heres a video of the outpost rush test.
For those that dont want to watch the video here are some pictures of the damage between full voidbent with gems and crap grey t2/t3 heavy armor no gems… Lets get some attention to this.
