Warding is too strong

This morning i decided to test the warding skills in PvE. So i learned fire and death warding, raised both skills to lvl 90. My fire attunement is now 10 and my death attunement is 0. That leaves me with 120 fire resist and 90 death resist. Before i had 75/45.
So i went to the Rise , ofc used purify/celestial/douse to raise the resists a bit higher and did a lot of mages there. In the end i can confirm warding is working in PvE. I dont have exact numbers but all in all it felt a bit easier than last release.

If the warding resists wouldnt work at all in PvE i should take much more damage because of low attunement, right ?

 

So, I looked at my /stats in my log file in my /data folder. My resist was NOT 1/2 of my attunement in any of my magic trees. So, either the data output is wrong, or that is fake news.

So, with that said, I'm not so sure my math is horribly wrong.

@Chris attention has been brought to this.

Regardless, some solid testing is in order.

 

Attunement does not show as resist in /stats, it shows as attunement and the in-game calculations literally use attunement / 2 + resistance.

 

If you do this kind of testing again, would you mind adding in Fortify Defense to see if it actually reduces crit damage? I've been long suspecting that it doesn't actually work.

 

Last test on fortify was 2-3 months ago, it was not giving the reduction in crit damage.

If I get some time, I will show everyone how to be completely immune to magic in PVP. There is some bad math somewhere and it is not Hemswal's. From my testing, he's pretty close to exact.
