Bristling Rage doesn't hit targets that have not been hit, even if they're attacking

Patch notes said Bristling Rage “no longer damages targets that have not already attacked”, but in addition it also doesn’t hit targets that you have not attacked, even if they have attacked you.
This is not in line with the skill description that says “Whenever you are hit”.

This is likely intended. At least this is how agents like Diviniacus on live work also and last I heard was implemented on purpose.

    • This passive now requires a Hammer and no longer damages targets that have not already attacked.

Then the tool tip is wrong. “Whenever you are hit”.

If I remember it right it was changed to prevent afk monsterfarms.
