What is Armor?
So many things say +1 Armor. Is that defense or is it a different stat?

Different question: What is the stat "damage to all" do?

Damage to all deals damage to every foe in an encounter. Not useful if you are fighting one slime at a time. Very useful if you've got a village of goblins.

Nice hijack, but honestly what is armor?

And what is defense? Is that a flat -x damage? ie 2 defense means I take 2 less damage?

Armor is used interchangeably with Defense and mean the same thing.
Damage All add to your single target damage (still counting as Damage All type)
Defense is not a flat -x but as a rule of thumb you can very much count it as such since it act like it for the most part.

An oversight. It would be stupid if it was a big studio like Blizzard leaving a mistake like this in a Diablo game.

I think they changed it in the latest patch because now it says "+1 Defense per loop" instead of armor.

So are strength and damage the same thing?

So no one really knows ? I'd like to know how +defense works. Does it turn into a flat mitigation or does it create a % against physical damage. This is one of the most obscure stats in the game and when I stack defense I don't see much of a difference

Its a % based reduction of damage, a warrior with 40+ armor gets still 5 or 6 dmg when hit by 40 dmg attack.
I dont know the formula, but most games have some kind of diminishing return formula for armor, and it seems like thats the case here aswell.

Honestly I've had far better luck as the warrior so far stacking up evasion. Defense/armor seems weak comparatively...

Evasion is bursty and need to spend itemization on, while Defense you can mostly soft max with a good shield and a perk. When it comes to hard hitting monsters and something like the first boss which completely ignore Defense, Evasion do shine since you can't get enough defense to cover that.
