Armorsmith Archive

Hello. I was watching Combatchat & noticed that my armor was absorbing damage from attacks that I Blocked or Counterattacked. This means my armor is losing condition even if the attack was stopped? Is this a bug or working as intended? It may have always been like this & I didn't notice.

I've never noticed any decay on my armor from hits that I hvae counterattacked. Now with block, it's an entirely different story. The thing with block that's different from counterattack and dodge is that with the other two, you completely avoid taking damage from a hit whereas with block you only receive a 50% damage reduction. Since you are still getting hit with block, your armor will still have damage penetrate it which will cause it to decay.
