Fortify Mastery not applying Fortification with Cyclone

Using Fortify Mastery, "Melee hits Fortify, -3 to max fortification"

It seems a bit sporadic, but I was able to confirm when fighting Harvest mobs that I did not gain Fortification stacks when hitting with Cyclone.

At the very least, not against rare ones - it seemed to proc now and then on the normal mobs. Someone else mentioned it seemed to proc when they killed monsters, and that roughly lined up with what I was seeing. However, I'm not 100% sure.

I believe this may be because of the new Fortify mechanics in regards to the Ailment Threshold. After doing another map, I saw a near constant uptime of Fortification.

It does seem to be a bit aggressive, though, as I was not able to get any fortification stacks versus the rare harvest mobs.

I can confirm that the buildup of fortification stacks is severely hampered in harvest, to such a level that I am certain it's a bug. Even if I do a lot of damage to harvest enemies I build hardly any fortification stacks. It makes harvest almost impossible for me on high tier maps, even though I have no problem with high tier maps in general.

its not a bug but a poor implementation due to how its damage vs ailment threshold

so rare monsters and bosses you are less likely to gain fortification stacks against.

we can only hope its changed for 3.17

Just want to confirm:
Against white, blue and most yellow mobs cyclone applies fortify via the Mastery "Melee hits fortify". On bosses/ uniques, especially noticeable during the Atlas Invasion events, no fortification is generated. I am acting on a 3L with a desecrate CwC Setup.

yup, white/blue/some rares have lower ailment thresholds so generating fortification against them is easier.

I am still having the same issue in Archnem League generating fortification vs harvest rares. So the new change they did still does not apply? This is really frustrating as I have killed all the new end game bosses, but harvest rares are still harder for me to kill than anything else in the game.
