So on the physical mitigation tool tip it only displays:
common mit

On the Tactical tool tip it displays:-
Shadow mit
Acid mit
Fire mit
etc...


So does this mean that physical mitigation will only work for common damage?

Pre RoI we had a situation like so:
You are hit with a MELEE attack for 1000 FIRE damage

So here it would first check the source defence (melee defence) and take a percentage off
It would then use the appropriate mitigation damage type (fire defence) to work out what you are hit for.

Post RoI
From the tool tips, my understanding is:
You are hit with a MELEE attack for 1000 FIRE damage
This will only check tactical defence, even though the attack source is physical?

If this is the case then physical mitigation will only be useful against any mobs which do common damage, making it useless in some raid encounters and the moors I guess.

Anyone maybe even a dev have confirmation on this?
