The above statements are correct after I actually logged in and played. My previous comment was based on false and untested information. Nothing has changed.
It can and it has. Blizzard decided it was overpowered and now any hit that is more than your max life completely passes through Force Armor and kills you.
Nah, that's not what they did.
What they did was change the order of which damage is processed.
Before damage was reduced like this:
Armor / Resistances -> Force Armor/W Rune -> Shield -> Damage taken
Meaning that if you had 3k HP, the maximum damage your shield could take would be 1k per hit. That was OP.
Now it is
Armor / Resistances -> Shield -> Force Armor -> Damage taken
So if you have 3k HP and a 10k shield, and armor reduces damage by 50%. And you then get hit for 30k base damage.
It would be like this
(30.000 * ,5 = 15000 damage left -----> Shield for 10k damage -----> Force Armor removes 4k damage since it's over the 35% limit -> Take 1000 damage.
Instead of
(30.000 * ,5 = 15000 damage left -----> Force Armor reduces to 1k damage -----> Shield Takes 1k damage ----> 9k Shield left ----> Take no damage for the next 9 hits
Basically there you have the change they made. And shield after force was OP no doubt.
Simply will re-roll a different class should this be nerfed.
Then we will be seeing a lot less Wizards running around and the class will eventually be extinct.
Maybe "working as intended"?

Screw the previous post, it's completely broken now. Getting oneshot with Force Armor + 22k shield and 15k HP ATM. Like seriously oneshot, doesn't even reduce by 35% currently. Wierdly enough it did so 30 minutes ago but now it doesn't then it did then it doesnt. Aka broooken xD
Back to rolling lots of other classes
