Diablo 4 - Experiment on whether the cardiac damage reduction of retaliation really works: More - Confirmation of damage reduction
Recorded being beaten by regular level monsters several times and blooded.
23 times without a heart, 23 times with a heart on
And the options that change when you wear the heart are 278 more defensively + 18% less damage to the heart itself
Originally, 270 armor-clad equipment + non-heart VS 270 armor-clad equipment + heart-clad equipment
I should have done this experiment, but I forgot that my heart had a defense chart, so I went with it.
But the results confirmed that there was a significant 21 percent reduction in damage, and I'm not sure how the defense option will be calculated at the bottom, so it's still difficult to give a definite answer.
What do you think?
If you get hit by a regular level Reb50 monster
1. Added 278 defences so 21% damage reduction came out and the option for the heart is just damage saving.
2. There was an 18 percent reduction in damage caused by heart wear and a 3 percent reduction in damage added to 278 defense.
If it's number two, I think I'll use a lot of revenge hearts that show damage reduction by up to 20 percent.
