Aspect of the crab

I recently purchased a belt with aspect of the crab,
and i saw that if u turn it on (25% reserved mana),
u get 2% phys damage reduction for every "layer" of crabs, up to 10, and each time u get hit, 1 layer is gone.

i.e. on first hit u get 20% phys damage reduction (18% for the next and on and on).

i think this is amazing! 20% phys damage reduction? you need tons of armour/passives nodes to get 20%, and here you get 20% almost for free (if u can afford the mana reserve).

am i missing something?

Hello there.

According to the wiki, you lose all barriers when you take physical damage from a hit, not just 1.

could be that that's what the wiki says, but i see something else...
every hit i get, i see the numbers drop by 1 from 10 to 1...

i dont see the numbers drop from 10 to 0.

If you are wearing the Crab boots, they do in fact make it so that one hit equals one barrier lost. If you are not wearing the boots, then that is weird.

I see some inconsistency with its behavior on a rare ring I have on one of my chars. Sometimes when hit it wipes all the charges, others not.
