Fortifying Blood - Key Note Passive Bugged

I am using Fortifying Blood for increased life leech and increased armour & Evasion rating in combination with Iron Reflexes ( Converts all Evasion to Armour ) . Which in turn from the sounds of it should give me 80% increased Armour rating ( or convert 40% of my evasion rating into additional armour rating ) while leeching life.

I keep the character page open to test this and instead of increasing my armour rating it actually decreases by about 700 total armour. If I happen to be missing something and even if it is not a flat 80% increase it should still be an increase and not a decrease.

I appreciate any feed back or response as unfortunately this passive is not feasible to use currently with the way it is functioning.

I am having the same issue. If it makes any difference, I am playing mercenary.

Playing Mercenary as well. Forgot to add that bit.

I believe I figured out what the issue OxyChaos - Do you have the Backup plan notable passive? 40% evasion if hit - 40% armour if not hit recently

This i believe is what's causing our armour numbers to jump around and essential faking our max armour total with an additional 40% total while we have not been hit. Once we get hit we are seeing the 40% armour drop and the evasion switching into play which more than likely is lower than our total armour showing a much lower number.

To fix this and make Fortifying blood work effectively what I have personally done was remove Backup Plan and I worked my way into getting Fast Metabolism to make it so that leech is essentially almost always active while we are dealing damage.

Let me know if this helps you it seems to be working great for me thus far!
