Defence stance Bugged

[wulfgarthegreat]

Just to let all you know your Defence stance that is supposed to be giving you 15% more mit from your armor is not working as It should be.Dont take my word for it. Heres the break down math so you can check your selfFirst strip naked look at your base mitagation number. Write that number down. and Make sure no stance.Second get back dressed now look at your mitagation number now. Third subtract your base mit from when you were naked from dressed now take that times 1.15 write that number down.Fourth and final Now turn on your defence stance on.  Compare numbers and there you you have it.<div></div>

lolits 15% of each armor piece, IE 15% is .15 not 1.15.7 pieces of 200 mit armor would total to 1400. with defensive stance itll be 1610 mit.its not bugged. It's just cruddy. Very cruddy.<div></div>

Couldn't you just take your base mitigation without buffs or stance and multiply that by 1.15 without doing all the stripping naked stuff?<div></div>

ah ok I see, I meant our mitigation with armor on and no stance as "base", now I understand what ya'll are talking about, analyzing EQ down to this point isn't my strong suite =p<div></div>
