[QUOTE="Rokes, post: 4010015, member: 27508"] Darn Aussies! Anyway, we're both right, but looking at it from different angles. I guess what I was referring to is that you always take 10% less total damage, as in your example, if you are attacked 100 times at 10 damage each, with +2 armor vs. +0, you always take 100 less damage (10% of 1000 possible damage). As for your perspective, if you're comparing the percentage between damages taken, it's not linear. It ranges fromp 5% to 100%. [SIZE=1]105% vs. 95% => 1000 Damage vs. 950 Damage = 5% Difference 100% vs. 90% => 1000 Damage vs. 900 Damage = 10% Difference 95% vs. 85% => 950 Damage vs. 850 Damage = 11% Difference 90% vs. 80% => 900 Damage vs. 800 Damage = 11% Difference 85% vs. 75% => 850 Damage vs. 750 Damage = 12% Difference 80% vs. 70% => 800 Damage vs. 700 Damage = 13% Difference 75% vs. 65% => 750 Damage vs. 650 Damage = 13% Difference 70% vs. 60% => 700 Damage vs. 600 Damage = 14% Difference 65% vs. 55% => 650 Damage vs. 550 Damage = 15% Difference 60% vs. 50% => 600 Damage vs. 500 Damage = 17% Difference 55% vs. 45% => 550 Damage vs. 450 Damage = 18% Difference 50% vs. 40% => 500 Damage vs. 400 Damage = 20% Difference 45% vs. 35% => 450 Damage vs. 350 Damage = 22% Difference 40% vs. 30% => 400 Damage vs. 300 Damage = 25% Difference 35% vs. 25% => 350 Damage vs. 250 Damage = 29% Difference 30% vs. 20% => 300 Damage vs. 200 Damage = 33% Difference 25% vs. 15% => 250 Damage vs. 150 Damage = 40% Difference 20% vs. 10% => 200 Damage vs. 100 Damage = 50% Difference 15% vs. 5% => 150 Damage vs. 50 Damage = 67% Difference 10% vs. 0% => 100 Damage vs. 0 Damage = 100% Difference[/SIZE] As you can see the damage is always 100 less (except in the first case) which is 10% of the total possible damage. :D [/QUOTE]
