Defensive Stance + Armor

Exactly how does the damage mitigation from defensive stance stack with armor mitigation? I haven't been able to find it anywhere. :)

Blah again. I redid my calculations and I was correct in the first place, lol.

Basically, if you have 50% armor reduction and the mob hits for 2000 damage:

2000 damage * 50% (armor) = 1000 damage
1000 damage * 90% (Defensive Stance) = 900 damage

So in the end, you take 900 damage from a 200 damage hit.

Multiplicative, not additive.

50% Damage Reduction from Armor with Defensive stance provides 55% Damage Reduction, not 60%.

multiplicative.

doesn't really matter what order since its multiplying but lets say you have 60% armor reduction.

so you take X damage * .4 = damage taken after armor reduction, then you take that new value * .9 = damage taken after armor reduction and defensive stance.

Damage * (1-Armor Reduction)(1-Defensive stance)

Ah ha...so I'm further behind the Druids than I hoped.

Thanks. :)

If the mob can crush, you can never really be behind a druid. hehe Also add parry and block (although not all that great for mitigation).

Also remember that Defensive Stance works on all damage, not just physical damage.
