**Title: **Amity ward absorption malus affects starting ward
**Description: **While having an equipped amity with a ward absorption malus, the absorption from the starting ward turns seems to be affected by it, although it shouldn't happen.
This also seems to be happening only when the player is attacking, because while testing it against his own character in a mirrored match, the attacker had 46% ward absorption, while the defender had 50%.

I could have sworn that nothing used to affect starting ward (fallen sky armor, and amity malus or bonus). A few of us noticed a while back that they all started to work on starting ward.
No clue if it's intended though

Because here it only affects the attacker, for some reason
Same no clue if it was supposed to work or not work on starting ward. I could have sworn it didn't used to but I didn't see any patch notes about it
Same, plus if it was intended it should probably go both ways, working on attack and defense
fixed now. it should affect the opponent
So it's intentional?
Because it hasn't appeared on any patch notes or anything, as Trex mentioned here
That's why we thought it was a bug, not only because it only affected the attacker, but also because ward absorption bonuses and maluses have never influenced the % you get from starting ward
Passive Abilities of Start Ward Turns are Skills according to that amity malus.
are Passive abilities Skills?
the change was part of Anguish, to ensure the anguish malus is applied at battle start
