Shirking Fortification: Dodging through an enemy attack grants fortify, increasing damage absorption by 3.8% for 6s. Each armor piece with this perk increases the potency of the effect.
The amount of damage absorption you get does not scale linearly as you would assume. Unfortunately, the description does not state how much the potency increases. Say you have three pieces, and let’s assume they scaled linearly, that would be 3.8% + 3.8% + 3.8% = 11.4% fortification. However, I am pretty sure that instead of adding they decided to make the perk scale multiplicative. So, again with three pieces, 3.8% x 3.8% x 3.8% = 54.8% fortification. Also, it doesn’t have a cooldown, you can dodge multiple attacks in a short duration and gain stacks on top of stacks.
Now I am not entirely sure how the scaling works, but what I can tell you is that it is WAY more than 3.8% per piece.
Pretty soon all wars are going to be a bunch of mages and bruisers with this perk and the 3v3 arenas will be too. I personally know a handful of companies across multiple servers and regions in North America who know about this perk being busted and haven’t reported it. Shame.
This mod is outright broken, as it is fortify in general. Just was testing with my friend and with 5 perks, he gets to 50% overall damage reduction with 3 stacks, that’s HALF damage reduction, it’s INSANE GUYS. If that weren’t enough, you can also have this up 100% of the time as it has no CD!! XDD. Dudes must’ve been high when they thought of this perk.
I can now understand why I’ve been doing auto attacks of 300 damage to people in OPR - get rid of this shit AGS, and in the meantime, change Fortify to give you a percent of extra armor, not flat damage - it’s totally ridiculous.
Hitting people with 10k+ health for 300-500 damage while they wreck your head with their big, fat Axes takes away my willingness to play the game to be honest.
As you can see, 1 item with 5 stacks gives you around 19% of fortification
2 items with 5 stacks give you 38%
3 items with 5 stacks give you 57%, but it’s being 50% capped on 5th stack
4 items with 5 stacks give you 76%, but it’s being 50% capped on the 4th stack already
5 items with 5 stacks give you 95%, but its being 50% capped on the 3rd stack already
Hope that helps.
Upd: any chance you can provide info on when this update will come live?
And please @Developer add an easy system to activate or deactivate a perk / ability / ability perk. it’s just an boolean to every perk and an if statement which also dont have much of an impact on network (or you just do it client side)… so you can get the time to fix it properly and the playerbase would not be that toxic about your competence.
