    I have to say, and even tho this might not be feedback on the subject at hand, it is amazing to see an actual 'indept' dev blog. I did not expect this going to happen, but now I'm happily suprised that you actually showed us this information with a description on what is what. Thank you.

    After reading this blog several times, I start to wonder about something tho.

    Critical Hit Resistance Bonus: This Boon increases your damage resistance from a Critical Hit: 2% at Rank 3, and reaches 16% when the structure achieves rank 10.

    AoE Resistance Bonus: This Boon increases your damage resistance against Area of Effect attacks: 2.5% at Rank 1, and reaches 15% when the structure achieves Rank 10.

    Defense Bonus: This Boon increases your Defense statistic: 800 at Rank 1, and reaches 8000 when the structure achieves Rank 10. This Boon has lessened effectiveness if you are not level 70.

    So, if I read this I come to the following conclusion: CHRB gives a 16% dr on critical hits, AoERB gives 15% dr on AoE attacks, while Def gives ~20% dr regarldess of what attack it is? Shouldnt CHRB and AoERB be damage reduction instead of damage resistance, so it is not countered by arpen? Making it not per se less than Defense under any circumstance?
    Or am I just misinterpreting the wording of this blog? And if so, can anyone clarify?
