Battle Standard is still a mess!

I was really shocked with these findings, have no words!

I was testing the BS 10/10 in normal, epic and legendary Uber, TQ 1.16, on satyrs in helos and defiled lvl 65 char.

In legendary, i got around 15% damage reduction. More to this, i didn't observe any difference betwean BS lvl 1 and 10!
In epic, around 25% damage reduction.
Only in normal damage reduction was close to expected.

I have not found the pattern yet, but it is clear the BS does not work as advertized in Epic and Legendary, having much less than expected efficiency.

I urge everyone to test this. We have to find if BS is still bugged, and there can be other damage reduction skills which do not work as we all used to think.

Sorry... i panicked to early I used red numbers and they are only intended damage, not actual received.
It works.

Yeah, it's a quirk in the code that crits still register. My Harb with Ritual jewelry (80% Less Damage from Magical) takes very little damage from Legendary Gigantes, maybe 100 or so from a big hit. Yet I see red numbers from 1k t0 2.5k flying constantly. Same deal with Toxeus in SP. Lots of crits but no damage.

As a sidenote, i have found some interesting information. As i expected, -%damage reduction from Triumph is additive and effect is diminished on Epic and Legendary. What is interesting that damage reduction from Triumph and RoT stacks, not additevly, but multiplicatively. 60% from Triumph and 36% from RoT resutls in 1 -(1-0.6)(1-0.36) = 74.4% damage reduction.

If they would stack,RoT+Triumph would render a Spellbreaker immune to melee damage(with the +4 skills)
