Summary0010965: Ether Dance (Sword master ability) seems to ignore toughness
DescriptionReporter: DanskuL

1. Touch of palsy ticks for 82 dmg (15 mitigated), the mitigated damage is about 15.5% in this particular case and quick check on armory gave me that the avatar has about 400 spiritual and my resistance aura removes 160 spi-res. gives him 240 spirit resistance yields a dmg reduction of about 17% of the inc spirit dmg. DoT ignores armor if I remember correctly but this implies that they ignore toughness as well. Is this intended?

2. Ensorcelled Blow seems to be mitigated by toughness, ravage as well (these seem to be mirrored abilities even!), as he mitigate about 27% of my ravages compared to the 17% that should be mitigated (in case it would ignore toughness) and the character has a very low toughness from gear, nothing very weird here.
But if we look at the blows from Ether Dance it does a staggering 289 dmg, with 141 mitigated. Taking in to consideration that he has heaven's blade which removes 160 resistance from me it'll give my character 500 spirit resistance which is about 30% spirit damage resistance, now 141/430 gives us a mitigation of about 32.7% which means that this ability doesn't seem to be affected at all by toughness, even though it's a straight up "hit" and not a DoT. Is this intended? I have not found any changes to this spell anywhere on the forums nor in the .ab changelist.

It seems like if this is intended then why is Ensorcelled Blow and ravage affected by toughness while Ether Dance is not?

There is a small problem with your screenshot and with your statement that you had 500 resistance , which is that the ability Shock ( which is a spirit damage proc , goes as intended through toughness and gets mitigated by resistances) is only showing about a 10% mitigation , which equivalent to having about 170 resistance.

Which means that either
A. You had lower resistances then you think ( potentially a wrath of hoeth applied to you or a knight aura)
or
B. for some reason the resistance's aren't working properly on some of those abilities

In both cases , adding your .getstats during the actual combat might give more insight. Also i don't see Ensorcelled blow anywhere on your screenshot.
