June 3 - Combat Hotfix!

Hello everyone!

After some player feedback and some elbow grease last night, we found the source of an issue involving defence and the minimum damage calculation which ended up having minimum damage overrule defensive calculations like damage reduction and block. This should no longer be the case!

Changes should go live upon reset at 00:00.

I want to personally thank the community members involved with drawing our attention to the problem, it resulted in a great starting point for the investigation and made my life a lot easier.

As always, if you run into any hiccups or bright ideas for the future don't hesitate to let me know!
