Fortify does not proc

Since the last patch I cannot get fortify to proc.
Not with my cyclone slayer with a 2H, not with my cyclone ranger.
Not with the support gem and not with the passives.
I read on some forum posts that it might have something to do with ailment threshold.
I cannot believe this.
GGG would not be so STUPID because it means you cannot get fortify of unique monsters, which is when you'd need it the most.
Right?
If you can hammer big chunks of life from unique monsters you won't be needing fortify in the first place.

So which is it?
Fortify bugged? Or GGG acting retarted?

Problem:
Fortify is intended as a defensive benefit for being a melee character, but can often be obtained by spellcasters using melee weapon types without engaging in melee combat.

Solution:
Change the Fortify mechanic so it is given as stacks of Fortification, which is gained based on how much melee damage you deal.
That's real cute. :-(
Why does it not say so in the game?
And why is does it not say how much melee dmg is required?

It's written on the fortify passives you have allocated in the tree
"Fortifying grants an amount of Fortification based on the Damage of the Hit"

If you play a melee build and dont deal enough damage to proc fortity, then you should prefer solving problems with your damage. With such poor damage you are not going to survive, with or without fortify.

Looking at your Ranger, I am surprised you do any damage at all.
~ Please separate the PoE1 and PoE2 forums.
It seems you have no idea what you are doing.
I would recommend you to follow any guide or read more about basic game mechanics (how link an item, what support gems use etc ...).

Fortify is the last thing you should care about right now.
what is fortify? Ah yeah the promissed melee buff that now is an ascendency point of champion.

Go champion or go home if u rly want to use fortify
It works just fine if you deal decent damage.
