It seems Resolve 'Tough Skin' has a bug?

Hi.

(from Korea) In Inven, An user named 'Berto' has experimented with Mastery 'Tough Skin' which is Resolve 2 tier.

As a result, as you can see, 'Tough Skin' reduces all kind of damages including each DoT damage by 2. and in game tooltip, It says "You take 2 less damage from Champion and Monster basic attacks.". We(Berto and many Inven users) thought it means we take 2 less damage from Champion's basic attack and Monster's basic attack.

At first we thought it as a problem of ambiguous Eng-Kor translation process. But we found that the English tooltip looks ambiguous too (at least to us). So I ask here... Is it a intended or just a bug?

Plus(a result of the experience), as a result of this mastery, you can still recall while debuffed by 'Deathfire Touch' unless 'Deathfire Touch' damages you more than 2 per second. Thank you.

Thanks for mentioning this, looks like Tough Skin's reducing all champion damage (that isn't true damage) by 2, rather than just the stated basic attacks. I'll follow up with the team that's been working on masteries tomorrow, that's either a significant amount of unintended power or a tooltip that really undersells the mastery.

Also, on the off chance this reaches him/her, my thanks to Berto as well for spotting this and investigating it.

If this is true and will be fixed, would it be possible that you assumed the Mastery's strength to be amicable even though it was stronger than intended? Which would mean fixing it would be a nerf and your prior observations would become void. tl;dr: Will Tough Skin (or the Resolve Tree) be compensated for this 'nerf' ?

(I can already assume this goes against your philosophies, I just wanted to ask; just in case ...)

I thought i already posted this bug/interaction somewhere but im not sure.

I don't think it needs changing, 2 is such a low number anyway. Besides with DFT making dot mages very strong a little bit of countering is healty i think.

In casse you did not know item 1054 does the same thing, It also blocks damage from dots.

Perhaps these are bugs you want fixed. But It could also be used as a passive in a new defensive item, rather then nerfing the DFT mastery or the champions whom abuse it in conjunction with item 3151 an option to build some defenses against this might be more helpfull.
