Perhaps it was a typo of the poster or what have you, but I noticed they said they intend to change this enchantment to reduce damage reduction instead of reducing Deflect Chance. This is a huge change and really negatively affects this enchantment if its true. I am wondering if anyone has more information on this since I was just about to try this.

In PVE, baddies don't have defense of deflect. So, in an effort to still provide utility, the game's damage calculation treats debuffs that reduce enemy defense or deflect as uncapped Damage Resistance debuffs (don't currently respect the usual debuff cap of 200%). It worked this way before the change too, but I bet most folks didn't know that's how it worked. The mechanic hasn't changed, but the tooltip has been updated to reflect the mechanic better (at least that's the theory).
I don't remember anymore if the they tweaked the magnitude of the debuff, but I don't think that they reduced it with this change. General consensus is that most WEs got a buff, and all of the debuffing ones got verbiage that better describes their actual effects (in my opinion a bit sad, since before the change you could reliably identify capped vs. uncapped debuffs based on if they reduced "damage resistance" or defense / deflect... but whatever)
