What was the unintended damage reduction with desert shroud?

• Desert Shroud: Fixed an issue that granted an unintended damage reduction.

What exactly does this mean? Did it have more than the intended damage reduction or less? Is the reason why everyone use necro scourge just because you can be so tanky than any heavy armor classes, and this was the reason?

As far as I know it was bugged to have any dmg reduction at all. 

 

Normal and Reaper Shroud have a build in dmg reduction.

Armour type hasn't really been indicative of tankinessn since near the start of the game. Some of the tankiest builds the game has ever seen have been on medium and light armour.

Ah okay.

Core and Reaper have 50% damage reduction from all sources while in Shroud. Scourge, utilizing barriers, doesn't. Or shouldn't, but there was a tiny bug introduced very recently that gave him 50% damage reduction upon activating the Desert Shroud barrier, which lasted AFAIK while the barrier held.

It is currently unknown if Harbinger will have the damage reduction, since he "enters" shroud, but doesn't replace HP. In the beta, he had no damage reduction, so...
