Iron ward doesn't seem to track physical damage over time
|
Did some rough testing with the new Iron Ward skill gem:
" Based on the wording of the skill, it looks like physical damage over time that is prevented should be stored, but currently it does not: Test 1: Equipped Scold's Bridle: " Equipped a shield with explicit "8% Additional Physical Damage Reduction" Enabled Iron Ward Used any skill with a cost over time (Mana tempest, Supercharged slam) Expected Result: Mana cost over time translates into physical damage over time (via Scold's Bridle), which should be affected by the Additional Physical Damage Redution mod from the shield. This mitigated damage should translate to Iron Ward accumulating stored Damage Actual Result: Mana cost over time translates into physical damage over time (via Scold's Bridle), and is affected by the Additional Physical Damage Redution mod from the shield. However, this mitigated damage from Scold's Bridle does not accumulate stored damage from Iron Ward. Test 2: Equipped Coat of Red: " Equipped a shield with explicit "8% Additional Physical Damage Reduction" Enabled Iron Ward Be inflicted with bleeding Expected Result: I should take physical damage from bleed, which should be affected by the Additional Physical Damage Redution mod from the shield. This mitigated damage should translate to Iron Ward accumulating stored Damage Actual Result: Mitigated damage from bleed does not accumulate stored damage from Iron Ward.

I will second this.
Been testing Iron Ward (since the 0.4 patch buffs) with channelling spells in combination with Scold's Bridle.... and it doesn't seem to work. |
