So I am testing out a bunch of ED’s and decided to test “Brace for Impact” in the Unyielding Sentinel ED tree and found out that the +40% fortification is actually just +40 fortification points added on as far as the character panel reads.  Is this an old problem or typo that I am just figuring out the hard way?

Your right, I don’t understand the way ddo percentages work. I just assumed that I was going to see my number go up by 40%. So I did 240x1.4=336.  But I thought it was broken when it was 40 points instead of 40 percent and that it was just another mis-worded Description or something.  Which I didn’t feel was so farfetched. 

Could you explain or link a page so I can learn me up some DDO math?  Tip of the ice burg here I’m sure.  At least you responded in my favorite way.  Gunna look it up but I expect more out of you, like actual answers and links and stuff..

That makes sense.  You’re right, the fact that it went over 100% is misleading.  But you explaining this gave me the rest of the information I didn’t have or experience having been away From the game for so long.  I left when Minos legens was the shit and you strived for 100% fortification.  I mean why do you need more, is what I thought then, (Insert patronizing math explanations here). But, I didn’t consider mobs having abilities to negate that and therefor leading to the requirement of surpassing the 100% so you can try and remain at 100 when debuffed.  I couldn’t find anywhere that listed that it was always based on the 100 and not based off of what number you currently have.

I appreciate your sarcasm and lessons.  I have a lot of catching up to do so I’ll take it how I can get it.   Sooo what other attributes work this way?  And where is the game mechanic lexicon hidden?  Or maybe it’s lost?  And Maybe that is why we have the imperfect partially broken game we love?

These sentiments pretty much explain how I feel. I don’t attack problems in this game with logic because that’s not the rules here.  I kind of like it in a way.  But also hate it in the equal amount.  Like any good healthy relationship.

All things I embrace.  I'm not bitching or complaining. I took my lashings and asked for more.  That was more enlightening than anywhere else I looked.  So I'm not gunna complain about the delivery.
