Shedding some light on Class Artifact: Enhanced Mark

grimah

I ran some tests to see how it worked, or if it works. Here are my results versus dummies. I only used the first attacks of cleave to keep the data as consistent as possible.



As you can see from the min damage (sorry couldnt reduce my crit to 0) and median damage, there is no differences vs dummies. After re-reading the description, I went to test vs real mobs (with minimal ArP):



Turns out it only reduces damage resistance. not mitigation just like ArP. Making it pretty useless in PvE where most dpsers and yourself should be capped. So to those who have it or were thinking about it this info may be useful for you.

Nice work. I would like to test this on dummy too.

So what do you suggest instead?

Do you think this is WAI or just another oversight/bug?

Well from the description it seems to work as intended.

As for suggestions of other features. Depends on what you are looking for. I use guarded assault to proc crushing pin. Having really looked into all of them in depth. The shield talent one was useful pre-dungeon nerf but not so much now.

And this is proof of why everything needs to be tested

Thanks for doing this grimah
