No Cut Resistance Efficiency Stat?

[Cryptix]

So I understand how cut resistance works but what happens regarding armour that doesn't show the Cut Resistance Efficiency stat? Is it 0% or 100% cut resistance efficiency? I don't see how it could work with 100% as it would block all cutting damage, or is that it? Is is supposed to just let blunt damage through?

In vanilla there is no such thing as 100% cut resistance on anything. So it must be 0%.

Ok yeah that makes sense.

The lack of a cut resistance stat on Samurai Boots was making me question whether it blocks ALL cut damage that passes through the cut resistance or if the damage that got past the base cut resistance didn't have a percentage removed.

Oh, you mean cut resistance efficiency? Because if that one is missing, it means it has 100% efficiency. Which blocks all cut damage resisted, rather than passing any along.

You were just saying cut resistance, so I thought you meant the resistance numbers themselves. But Samurai boots have 100% efficiency. Sorry about the confusion. :P

Oh yes, my bad, I fixed the title.

Important to note though, efficiency of 100% does not mean ALL cut damage is resisted. Just that the percentage shown in the resistance number itself is entirely resisted.

If an armour has 60% resistance, and only 50% efficiency, that means that only 30% would actually be blocked. While the other 30% would get converted into blunt damage.

Yeah I tried to ask why the efficiency stat wasn't showing because I knew how the damage was calculated but wasn't sure if the absent stat meant the efficiency was 0% or 100%.
