Behemoth Dire Rampart fortify inconsistent

I see my melee hit counter because of the Rampager ascendancy. So while I am often hitting, I am not always granted Fortify from Dire Rampart.

I can create a video but it's very apparent in every map. Using 2h axe. Very few skills outside of cyclone.

edit: I think maybe it's Rares that aren't granting the fortiify.

Fortification stack gain is based on the damage dealt, compared to the enemy's ailment threshold.

You may just be noticing low damage rolls not dealing enough damage to grant Fortification stacks?
"Melee hits Fortify"...

Hundreds of hits and not a single fortify at times.

"Melee hits Fortify" does not mean that any melee hit will give you fortification stacks. It means that a melee hit can give you fortification stacks depending on the damage of that hit.
Сyclone you use may have good dps, but the damage of a single hit, which is used to calculate the number of fortification stacks, is quite small. So often you don't get stacks. Try to go to the early acts, against weak mobs you will get a lot of stacks.
Poorly worded then because in PoE a hit has a clear definition. It's missing a "can" or an alt description if this is the case.

edit: My rampage "hits" register at 200 but I don't have a single fortification "hit" so explain that one.

Hit has a clear definition, and Fortify has an alt description (I can't check if Dire Rampart has a description)



For rampage, all hits count, damage doesn't matter. For Fortify, the damage of the hit matters.
