Wards working against Physical Damage?

[aprilstor]

<DIV>Ive noticed my wards seem to be working better since yesterday and my husband, a paladin, says that he sees a difference when attacked by a physical means (but not by a magic attack). He says the paladins in chat are saying wards are counting armor (ex: he gets hit for 150 with or without ward physically, but if attacked magically gets hit for more with a ward on)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I also noticed I had a heckuva time keeping my group alive last night with straight heals so I resorted to casting wards as well..and it got easier..something that has not happened to me in 15 levels. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone notice or do any tests since yesterdays update? Too much to hope for?</DIV>

If wards have changed that SOE has accidentally leaked another healer/combat patch file to live servers. It would not be the first time as we all know from haze disaster. <div></div>

It is easy enough to test and settle. Find a greenie.  Pull with Haze / Chimerik.  Let the mob run itself out of power. Once it runs out, allow it to bang on you for a little while . . . 3 minutes or so.  This will give you it's baseline. Now, start Warding yourself.  Make sure the Ward never gets knocked completely down.  (good luck with that one).  Do this for 3 minutes or so. If Wards are using AC, you will see it immediately in the average hit. <div></div>
