Iron Mage perk

[Meroldys]

So I'm using this perk cause 10% dmg reduction seems really good but...the tooltip say the effect stacks which should mean everytime I cast a spell I should get 10% dmg reduction but...I only get one no stacks nothing just refresh that one 10% reduction.

Do I misunderstand the tooltip or it is worded wrong?
Or the perk is not working as intended?

Not to mention it does not show in any stats when I use a skill only as a buff on left side..and it says "10% damage reduce" it seems like bad worded to me.

If anyone can help that would be appriciated

At least if a dev read this they will have a much easier job finding a solution to it :D

Right? Exactly! And if you don't get an email for your account on MantisBT, I suppose I could post it for you with the details.. That's up to you, it was your find.

Will see still no e-mail...Guess I will wait a bit the best would be to direct them here at this post :)

That was what I had in mind. A short summary of what we discovered, and a link to here.

Well you should do it I still have to wait for the e-mail.

Devs will decide what they want to do with the perk after they have it fixed.

I think instead of having skills that not benefit from it it should just have a set maxium stack amount like 3 or 4...thats enough reduction to be worthy to use but nothing overpowered as elementalist really need it.

Posted to MantisBT! Don't think I can provide a working link if your account's not valid though, unfortunately.

What is important that they know of it and it will be fixed hopefully.
Just like the elemental damage % on elmentalist skills.

Ink leap, mirror image are not considered as attack spells, don't have global cooldown, etc. That's why they are not triggering the iron mage perk.

The stacking have been fixed

Not a very complete response, but it does answer your question. We won't know until the NEXT patch if it was changed to affect the other listed skills as well, in particular Stream of Bolts which is 100% an attack spell.
