Barkshield absorbs base (unmitigated) damage

kainan777 · December 2017

Tested on r13 Barkshield. It seems enchantment absorbs base damage, before the DR. I play on Drider so I wont paste combat log in russian but I will say it in my own words.

For example: I have 40% DR, enemy strikes me 1000 damage. Log says:
- Enemy strikes you but you use barkshield to absorb 1000 (600) damage.
- You recieve 0 (1000) damage.

When i take off enchantment it will be:
- You recieve 600 (1000) damage.

Is it WaI? Should Barkshield absorb base damage or it's just a combat log output bug?

Looks right to me. Barkshield is a separate layer, applied before your personal DR. What were you expecting it to do?

I always thought it's applied AFTER the DR

A bit confusing.

Ah no, it's a shield, similar to the GFs or CWs. Shields are nearly always a separate layer.
