I thought it caps at 40 and not 43% despite what the tool tip says?


People estimate 40%, the real number is 43.
Hard to test in an unmodified game with varying dmg ranges, but close enough to 43% to convince me as some of my tests fell in spots were it the min dmg roll was showing more than 40% reduction.

Fair enough, thx mate. Still the strongest reduction buff I remember in any game - well, apart from D3s Double Unity Ring in combination with the invincible Relic for the merc, but I dont wanna think about that game too much :wallbash:

dr used to be capped at 75% back in the glory days of eth bug, bugged eye of etlich, and before enigma .

common melee setup was stormshield + shaft + vampgaze, sometimes string of ears was subbed in and shaft or gaze swapped to other.

Yup
You get 5% dmg reduce if you have 1 hard point and +19 skills.
43% dmg reduce if you have 20 hard points no +skills.

Interesting. Thank you.

Yeah, I remember that. But that was a cap instead of a source.

Will need further testing, but this is my current assumption from a limited amount of data
