Crafting a ruby ring. Started with a normal ring. All T1s were crafted with Stability glyph. Remaining T2+ affixes were crafted with Guardian glyph. At this point it has 3 T2 mods (strength, crit chance and cold resist) and T1 physical resistance. I craft T2 physical resistance and get a crit success also on physical resist. I then craft T3 crit and fracture on T3 strength. When I remove the ring from the Forge it only has T1 physical resistance.

If you got a destructive fracture it could have lowered your Physical Resistance. I would assume this is what happened. I would look out for this again and try to notice what kind of fracture happened when an affix decreased.
A destructive fracture can remove more than one tier? It would be good if this was noted on the item instead of flashed in a pop-up. I sometimes get distracted.
As per the “Instability & Fractures” section of the game guide:
You may have received either a Damaging or Destructive fracture. Though, it was likely a Damaging fracture at those tier levels and using guardian glyphs.
I would agree. It’s a fairly small indicator box that only stays on the screen for a couple of seconds with no visual indication to which affix (or affixes) received the reduction to their tier (or tiers) if it was a damaging/destructive fracture. It could certainly be better communicated to the user.
