Diablo 4 Fortify & Fortified

D4 Fortify

Fortified characters take 10% reduced damage. You become Fortified when you have more Fortify than current Life.

You are Fortified and take reduced damage as long as you have more Fortify than current Life. Certain Skills or item effects can grant Fortify, which cannot exceed your Maximum Life.

Diablo 4 Fortified

Basically, it's a form of damage reduction. It makes your life tougher to get through but only when your current amount of fortify is higher than your current life.

Bonus Damage while Fortified:

  • Increases your damage dealt while your Fortify is greater than or equal to your current Life.

Fortify Generation Bonus:

  • Increases the amount of Fortify generated from your Fortify effects.

Damage Reduction while Fortified:

  • Reduces incoming damage taken while your Fortify is greater than or equal to your current Life.
  • Stacks with the damage reduction inherently received from being Fortified.
  • As this stat increases, additional bonuses become less effective.
