Calamity Mod Addon: No Defense Damage

Btw still works and even works with fargos dlc (at least from what I’ve played so far (king slime)) so if youre planning to play the dlc too then :)

if you're accepting suggestions i think it'd be cool to have an option where defense damage still exists but is just heavily nerfed (regens like 3x faster, can only affect up to 75% of your defense, and can't affect damage reduction since normally it is able to for some reason)

2024/10/18 Calamity 2.0.4.004, it still works.

@ุReshy Yes. Does it not work in the latest version? I haven't checked on it in a while, but whenever Calamity updates and breaks it, I try to fix it.

Is this still being maintained?

@the Child of Night It's a mechanic in the Calamity Mod where certain enemies and bosses when they hit you will temporarily decrease your defense. Which is a stupid mechanic as there doesn't need to be a penalty to being hit because being hit is the penalty. It was added seemingly so the Calamity team didn't have to balance their strong bosses or high defense armors and items. At least in my opinion. I hate the mechanic so I made a mod to remove it.

I'm sorry, but what is Defense damage? this is my first time hearing that term. to me it sounds like it is one of two possibilities:
>it is a mechanic that uses the users defense as a means to calculate the users attack or damage output,
>or it uses the Target's defense to do the same thing, witch one sounds like a cool gimmick while the other sounds like it was intended to one tap stuff, which would be a good reason to use this mod.
so what is it exactly?

Might be that the mechanism defense damage is operating by changed

Just fought Astrum Astreus with the same exact problem. I could only get him down to about 15% when I tried him before this mod, and with it installed, I get stomped at the same exact point.

The defense number isn't being reduced, so the mod is definitely doing *something*, but its not affecting damage for some reason.

Just downloaded the mod and it appears to work. Empress of Light was reducing my armor by 100 before the mod, and not reducing it now.

But I can't figure out why the damage I'm taking is still the same. I have 286 armor. Empress of Light should only be able to scratch me. But certain attacks are dealing 70 damage to me now, same as before adding the mod (yes, its active).

Master + Revengeance mode btw.
