Armor deflection stat? (in General)

It would be nice to see the amount of damage that is deflected by armor. Comments?

It's about .21% per point of AC for physical damage and .21% per + of AC for magic damage.

Hunter, that's clearly stated in the help section. I think it would be nice to have the stat available so we don't have to do the calculation after every battle.

Something like, next to Damage Inflicted 'Damage Deflected'?

exactly independenz.

So would you also lump into that the damage absorbed by the ToE? And protection?

It can't be written out for us what the exact dmg reduction would be because the AC is randomized in dmg reduction.

What _would_ be blocked cannot be written, but what _was_ blocked could...

You don't need an exact number...

Say your AC blocks 10% of physical damage, 5% of magic damage, and you have 100k hp.

Against a tank team you will have 110k 'hp'
Against a mage team you will have 105k 'hp'

If you're down to 50k at the end of a fight with a tank, you have 55k 'hp' left. I am a person who is absolutely pathetic at maths but even I can calculate this easily with near enough accuracy.

Against a tank and a mage, let's see, it's either 7.5% extra hp that you have, or 15% (I really have no idea which, sorry). It's still not difficult.

AC=HP. Don't seperate the two, it just makes things confusing and gains you nothing.

10% deflection does not amount to 10% more HP. If I deflect 100% damage then I don't have 200% HP, instead I have an infinite amount.

If I deflect 10% of attacks then my opponent hits me with only 90% of what he has, that makes sense. Now if my opponent wants to do 100k in actual damage to kill me then he needs to do 100k divided by 90% (or 0.9) in undeflected damage. This amounts to 111k roughly.

The formula is therefore:

let x be the rate of deflection from AC
let y be the amount of actual hp
let z be the amount of virtual hp due to AC
y / (100% - x) = z

If you put in the value of 100% deflection in then you'll see the z expands to infinity as it should.

G, I think it should include TOE and Protection.
