Vigilant Strike fails to Fortify very frequently

I have Hits Can't be Evaded.

I have unchecked "Always Attack Without Moving", thus my character runs up to monsters and swings at them. It should thus always hit stationary mobs.

I'm using a 2-handed ax, and thus the range should be about as good as it gets.

I'm hitting white mobs, which would provide the most Fortification stacks.

It could be hitbox related, as even vs small monsters sometimes my character stops somewhat far away from them, swings, and results in a "miss". No hit damage and no fortify.

I'm using Lockstep.


My unsaneGoTime_GSlamINQ character can be duplicated and imported on test servers. Try to Vigilant Strike 10-20 times, and see that you are in fact not getting Fortified 10-20 times.
