I don't disagree, I'd really like to see how the numbers actually break down to make sense of what a difference it's making. I've noticed that usually I'm able to rush bosses down fast enough that it's never an endurance slog like Elden Beast, but every hit I take is doing like 50% of my HP and I'm wearing heavy armor.
Oh, is that how those work. Noticed it was broken and figured it might have just turned on later.

Mesmer at blessing level 10, and I'm getting the impression that the main story is coming to a close but there's still like 3 entire areas of the map I walked into and just turned around so maybe there's lots of side stuff?ive been watching it as i level up, it looks like its between 4-5% increase to your defense and attack power every level. So you should have something like 1.5x your normal damage at level 10.
you should also grab the dragoncrest shield talisman from the haligtree if you dont have it already, it's another 20% to your physical defense. There is also a talisman that boosts defense in the expansion but i can't remember where i found it. It will stack with the dragoncrest shield talisman. So between that and the fragment levels the bosses are hitting me like dark souls 3 bosses. I've found that all of the bosses so far have been pretty easy to stance break with a great hammer which has made things much smoother for sure.
Huh, that's a lot more than I thought. Honestly an even more bizarre choice to include it at all if it's just linear growth.
And yeah, already running the dragoncrest (and usually whatever resistance talisman is best), great jar arsenal, and erdtree's favor +2. Everything still hits like a truck, idk. I, too, am playing ungabunga (ruin greatsword), and I usually get 2+ full staggers per fight.
