Boneshield itself does not count as active mitigation . You gain a buff for 3 sec after every DS or Marrowrend Recently used Death Strike that counts as AM and Blood Shield but the absorb amount is the issue there . Over a normal fight you will have the AM flag for around 60 % like almost every tank . <| sep |> That ' s because college choices are easy . Obviously you go to the college of Winterhold . No tuition , you only have to buy one text book to enter , and in less than a semester , you get a job running the place . <| sep |> TIL that Aretha Franklin is still alive . <| sep |> some nice stuff in this patch , my favorite probably being the musicplayer , but I wish they hadn ' t changed the ledgerorder . I thought at first it was just a bug that made the armiestab ordered randomly instead of alphabetical , but looking trough the patchnotes it ' s apparently ordered by armysize nowwhich I hadn ' t noticed yet , I thoght it was just random order . I think alphabetical was way better , now I have to click 2 times to make it alphabetical again so I can find the country I ' m looking for .
