Foresight is trash

[Deathgiver]

So much outdated and inaccurate information in this thread... The defensive reduction formula looks like rawdmg*(1-0.0001725*defense) Source. With base i240 defense on tank of 2236, with protect you go up to 2571, and with foresight up to 3085. 1000 raw damage (how much you'd take naked with no cds), will hit a tank with protect for ~556.5 damage, while protect+foresight would be ~467.8. That's a 16% damage reduction. If we assume the defense values will scale the same way they have for the last 40 ilvls, at 270 foresight will be approximately 17%.

edit: The 5-7% values were based off 3.0 launch gear of i160-180, where defense values were much lower.

edit 2: fixed fomula, had a + instead of the appropriate *

At i239 (all pieces with defence are i240) without Protect, I take 444-487 damage with Foresight and 498-550 damage without it from the level 60 Sphinxes in Azys Lla. That's about 11%-12% physical damage reduction. Not amazing, but it's still pretty decent. Foresight isn't bad.

Foresight isn't bad, and tbh, I pretty much keep it on CD in raid if I do any main-tanking and ALWAYS throw it up when I'm tanking adds. Its not in a terrible place, and its stupid to not use it....

I use it with my pld like this, bulwark+awareness+foresight=equals great mitigation!

Whispers:

Its better than not using it...

Flies away~

Foresight scales with gear (specifically your phys. def), so currently it actually mitigates more than 5-7% and it's more around what you want to boost it to - 10%.

And because of this i assume it will get nerfed/changed in future, atm it keeps getting stronger and stronger everytime ilvl goes up.

Probably they'll just rescale the formula when we get the next expansion, just like the relation between gcd and skill/spell speed.

I tested it on some of those rook enemies outside Azys Lla, it's calculated after protect (So test it with that), and the enemy did about 15-17% less damage. Note these are just my personal tests, I encourage anyone around 230 to go try as well.
