Champion Fortificaton

The updated PoB has a line under the new Fortitude description that says Maximum 20 Fortification. So does the new node work like the old node where it grants 20 fortification and that's the characters Max fortification or what? All the teasers never mentioned this! If its 20 Max and that's it Champion still dead! Was going to be my starter.

When I add points to Max fortification in the skill tree my effective hit pool does go up, so which is it?

Cause 20 is the baseline cap without any items or passive points.

Yes, that's why people are going nuts over it. Specifically because of the line "You have your maximum Fortification", which you can increase for example with The Celestial Brace or passives.

Reminder that the Ascendancy kind of used to be like this, with 20 Fortification, 20% increased attack speed and +1000 to Armour and Evasion Rating.

It's always kind of funny to see the GGG nerf and buff cycle come full circle. Anyway, good luck with your build. Champ is/was always pretty solid.
