    Title: Fortify Defense does not grant protection from critical hits
    Reproduction Rate: 100%
    Blocker? No
    Details:
    The description for Fortify Defense says:
    "...when used immediately after being the victim of critical melee or ranged hit it also grants protection from critical hits for a time."

    This is not happening - no protection from critical hits is being granted when using Fortify Defense immediately after a melee/ranged critical hit.

    I am using Tactics Spec - so the window of opportunity should be even greater.

    Steps to Reproduce:
    1) Get hit by a critical melee or ranged hit
    2) Use the Fortify Defense glyph
    3) Observe that you can still get hit by critical melee / ranged hits while Fortify Defense is active

    It was changed from crit immunity to reduction in crit damage. Not to say that it is working properly, and they really need to fix the tooltip.

    Anyone know how much damage it's supposed to be lowered by after using it after getting critted? I don't see much of a difference -- dragon crits are still just as awful as before. Note that I have 80 tactics spec and 100 fortify defense.

    Didn't know this, when did this happen? Any info about what percentage of crit dmg should be reduced?

    It was a while ago, it was pretty op when it was crit immunity, so it got changed. No idea cuz it was not working at all after the change.
