Armour buff will not help
|
Hey guys,
The issue with armour was tanking physical damage. Letting it apply to elemental is cool but won't help at all the current issue. On the other side, evasion deflection will reduce 40% damage. So in endgame to get 40% damage reduction, it's easier to play evasion than armour. It's so strange to me. In PoE 1, suppression is similar, but does not apply to everything and is not gated behind evasion. For sure it's more common on evasion gear but not only for them. This said this is not an issue if the formula or way to stack armour has increased. Like give 20% more armour on each base gear. Would be cool to have a node like "Thick Skin" tant grant armour per strength. Last bumped on Aug 23, 2025, 10:14:23 AM

" Why do you assume it will be easier to get it with deflection? We do not have the formula. He said it can go up to 100% he never gave us the curve of progression. I do think armor working against elemental will help because elemental frequently are lots of small hits that swarm you (like ground effects etc). Now if they coudl make armor ALSO protect abit agaisnt chaos.. then we would be golden |

Indeed deflect forumla is not known.
Armour applying to elemental is really nice, and so nice, you will want to play cloak of flames. This is my point, the best way to play armour is to not take physical damage. |
