Damage Reduction

How does damage reduction work? Like, if I have Leto's is Barskin a waste? Should I be stacking Bulwark still? Go lifesteal and regen instead?

I think it reduces the damage by your armor reduction first and then further reduces that damage with other effects.
In essence, not even with over 200 armor you can't a big difference, even with a full defend build and the challenger 2nd skill you are not very tanky.
Leto is not viable in remnant 2 since too many bosses have arenas where you move a lot.
regen is the better way to go.
But if you want to be tanky try to use some shield, it's a lot better. there is a ring that give a 10% shield when you use a skill, you can just pick up your turret and drop it again to re-activate it:)

With just letos and the +50% armor effectivness trait I can tank without dodging at all. I get nearly 70% damage reduction before any rings and amulets.
