[Suggestion] For incoming damage, also show % mitigation #11

This would help provide insight on mitigations -- both how much mitigation there is currently, and help you troubleshoot tight timings (e.g., checking if your mitigation is timed correctly to cover say... both a raidwide + the follow up tankbuster)

I planned to do this originally, but it would be almost impossible to determine when the mitigation took effect. For example, I can just check if the buff was on the enemy. However, this may say something like

Attack Name 5900 -10% Reprisal

However, this would be the case across all actions that are incoming, even if the mitigation did not actually do anything, such as a % HP based attack. This is the reason I never implemented it. If someone finds a way to determine if any mitigation actually took place, that would allow me to implement it.
