poe fortify: The Brutal Honest Review

Fortify is a defensive mechanic in Path of Exile that reduces physical damage taken and increases armour. It’s a powerful tool for mitigating physical damage, making it popular among melee and tanky builds. While Fortify is a valuable defensive layer, it comes with some drawbacks. It requires constant action to maintain, as it only applies when you recently used a melee attack. This can be a limitation for builds that rely heavily on spells or ranged attacks. Additionally, Fortify’s effectiveness is reduced against certain types of physical damage, such as bleeds and physical DoTs.
