Who at CG thinks 574% Defense is a "good idea"?

A unit with 50% damage mitigation
+376% changes that to 82.65

Right.

So it "only" requires 3x the amount of damage to kill it. If it normally takes you 3 minutes to chew through someone, now it only takes, let me check my math here, 9 minutes.

Phew, and I thought this was going to have some actual determinative effects on real battles based on the way folks were talking!
