For me, the current behavior seems consistent with the tooltip, because the wording says "Usually", which implies that while many enchantments follow this logic, it’s not a strict universal rule.

So, applying 2x Sundered Defense instead of 120% could be a design-specific choice for this particular enchantment.

And I think it makes sense, what is the point of 120% for a single shot attack, it's a very small number.

120% means that you need at least 2 status resistance to make it not guaranteed.

As for 2 stacks, seems like it's an intended behavior, considering sundering stuff in this patch.

I see your points, but this behaviour is inconsistent compared to other enchantments.

For example, Brand of Wrath (Cull the Weak) enchantment applies a 90% weakened on magic attacks. But in case this attack is a single shot 90% transforms into 1x, not 2x.

Just checking the status and it is still in "In Review"
