Hope this video makes Fortify a bit more clear, this series is a bit experimental and I am trying a bunch of new stuff so let me know what you think!

This class was optional for me, but stayed for the edit and cool themed idea. Great work, can't wait for next class!

I'm an old boy here trying to make the most of my post campaign game play.
Thank you so much for making these and your format. No awful music or weird plugs for mobile games or junk like that.
Keep up the great work 👍

Thank you! I checked what people on reddit had to say about it and they all were under the impression that fortify only does something when you get the ring around the health ball.

I wasn't so sure if they were right because with around 70% of fortify i always felt very tanky in my own game sessions.
And now you confirmed that suspicion of mine.
Phew.

👍

Haven't played Diablo since the first one and am jumping back in now. Absolutely love the format of this series (chalk on the chalkboard and projector slides...YES!!!). I have been finding these mechanic explanations extremely helpful, so subscribed and thank you!

[xFreeQx]

Hah dude! I'm glad you did video for Asmon about world tiers trap, it's how I got here xD
Love your university content and just subscribed for more :D

[zurawrath]

First time on the channel and love it! Will post in my discord so my mates can get this information. Thank you 🙏

Great video! Hoping you get more visibility once the game launches.

[seanc]

Thanks was having trouble figuring this mechanic out

[TheTerrafrostbyte]

Thank you for this video. I assume that this can now be relevant to sorc due to sanguine brace?

[coasterplanet]

This breakdown was SO good! It's sad to see how people are still using fortify even though brutal hearts render it irrelevant. So few people understand what fortify is... It's basically pointless now, which makes room for so many more builds. I wish more people took the time to understand that the seasonal changes were truly game breaking and made it so fun to experience a whole different game

[newtoncomputerz]

Thank you for this. I like your style and animations of explanations. Semi pro gamer here (no ego). Props.

[WasiKaBooM]

Short and sweet. Not the biggest fan of plate spinning mechanics that will likely end up being mandatory, though the various ways to tweak the ways of getting fortified and to benefit from it means its certainly a lot more interesting than x% more armor, for example. I just really dislike the rapid decay of resources out of combat as a concept.

[deciett]

Minor nitpick: base life refers to the life you would have without bonuses from gear. Your health tooltip in the stats screen can give you this value for reference. Without much gear increasing your max life, they're basically the same, but you don't get a free lunch out of abilities that scale on base life when you increase your health pool through gear (sadly!).

[edsherwook]

Great video but how do you tell difference from barrier and fortify on the health bar? They both look the Same to me and I have a barbarian that has both? Gave the video a like

[omgthisblowsmuchos]

Thank you for giving it to me as it is and straight! I hope you have same one for Barrier :)

[MrAceishigh]

i really liked how you did this and it helped a lot. thank you

[theghostyouknow]

I really appreciate this channel, iv just started playing Diablo when the first beta launched for IV and played server slam and had no idea about any of this stuff lol. Subbd

[wisdomandy]

In the first beta phase on my Barb I was able to get my health bar to full fortify within 1 or 2 skills often keeping fortify up at all times. Another interesting thing I noticed was when my fortify was above my HP, I seemed to heal faster. I don't know if there's a hidden mechanic here or not.

[muppetarms]

Yet another great video, looking forward to the full breakdown
