Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it 
No, this would be like changing reslience to only affect backstabs and headshots. Just adjust the number, none of this fancy stuff that’ll completly invalidate gear investment.
How come? It would still be strong, on par with other aversion perks. Currently aversions are not really sought after because shirking fortification is that strong. Nerfing shirking fortification without any changes to aversion perks would still make physical aversion pretty useless imo.
imo ele aversion is pretty bis already, no trigger, not a removable buff, not absorbtion so not affected by absorbtion cap of 50%, additionally because it is not absorbtion, rend is less effective against aversion since it is a separate multiplier. people lack imagination so they just stack shirking fort, but ele aversion is very good and competitive with shirking fort, especially for builds with high absorbtion. phys aversion not so much since most phys dmg is melee. nevertheless, people invest in shirking fort because it is a very balanced option braindead option. is it overtuned, yes, but it does not need to be changed into a completely different perk, that would fuck with a lot of builds. just adjust the values, and c/d.

How about the 2nd suggestion then? Shirk fort stays the same and phys aversion reduces all physical damage (including melee) and not just range? Would at least make it somewhat useful I think

i think they should have just made aversions melee/ranged in the first place lol

Yea true would be a nice thing too, phys aversion is just pretty useless right now.
Something needs to be done, because its a pretty mandatory perk ATM.

This would be about the dumbest thing they can do. Massively nerf a bunch of peoples gear right after they spent tons of money and time farming for new BIS. Your suggestion also nerfs it much more for ranged as they usually fight other ranged than it does for melee.
that’s actually a bad idea.
shirking fortification is what allows melee players to better play their role.
we must stop wanting to systematically facilitate the game for range players so that melee players are cut out by them.
True. Either this or separate it into Physical & Elemental.
Should we balance the game around people who bought expensive gear? Also there is a second suggestion listed to just make “physical aversion” apply to all physical damage, not just ranged. This would kinda even things out and shirk fort would be good vs both but dispellable buff, or you could get flat elemental absorb or flat physical absorb. All I’m saying is shirk fort is way too strong right now compared to aversions and rather than nerf it, make aversions on par with it.
The thing is there are 2 suggestions listed one of which wouldn’t touch to shirk fort as a whole, but rather buff physical aversion and make it apply to all physical damage - ranged and melee. Shirk fort could stay as it is, just aversions should be made stronger to atleast be on par with it, because it currently is bis for most players, but aversions not so much.

/!\ ____ proposal / solution ______
why not make parries work on ranged attacks, and make aversion become:
after blocking a ranged attack, you take X% less ranged damage for 6 seconds.
this would enhance the blockages, the aversions. it would add a new perk as interesting as fortification and it would also help heavy armor to feel better against a range army.
moreover, the block making the player immobile, the player will have to stop if he wishes to avoid a blow at the right moment, rather than just dodging.
and a melee player will have the choice between hitting, dodging or blocking depending on the situation.
No, this is the best perk for medium armor melees players. Gear without at least 3 this perk is senseles and your nerf u will have only bows and muskets. Moreover how u imagine do it now ? I spend 100k for 3 purple items resilent and shriking forti. and bunch of shards wanna give it back to me ?
Physical aversion is alsk good to fill lack in thrust damage resistance good against muskets bows and BBs.

Nobody runs physical aversion though. Just use thrust gems and use shirk fort, you will negate way more damage.
