15% Armor buff - changes nothing

Its still useless... esp on evade+armor

Armor NEEDS rework...in formula...passives... not this...

Nobody knows yet what that 15% mean eaxactly.
So wait for the patch and people testing it.

It could mean behaves as like 15% more armour or it could be flat 15% more damage reduction compared to current reduction from armour. ( that would be pretty big)

We dont know yet and they will monitor and test.

People want to be a tank no matter the build. Level 84, still haven't been one shot.. It's not the game, it's your build.

Well actually you dont die in maps from Armour formula..... you only die vs Bosses from it.
If you randomly die in maps ... armour is for sure not your problem !

Fe. i havce 8700 Armour and 8% flat additional additive phys reduct on shield.
The highest a T16 yellow rare can do on a single phys hit is ~ 2000 damage.

I get 22%+8% reduction = 2000-(2000*0,3) = 1400damage.
So if i have 3000life i cant be reduced below 50% health from phys hit even from a full to the face slam from a T16 yellow Rare

Even if its 15% reduct it still useless ubtill you have around 30k armor.

If before hit from boss was mitigated by around 4% now will be 19%?
Still one shot
Still not working with passives like convert phys damage to fire resist etc

And yeah Merc still needs to go full evade or es...
They need to change that multiplier from x16 for reduction to like x6 or x8 atleast

PATCH NOTES OUT

You are a bit slow. The interview in the Tavern Talk said they are going to rework the Armor synergy. But it will be out when the league/economy reset happens in a bit.

You really need to watch the tavern talk. They gave armor a small amount of time for discussion and it is hopeful in the future for the warrior

Its really not. The armor in poe2 is weaker then in po1, it seems like they dont use the same fumular, or if they do its not the same numbers. The devs even said they thinkered with the armor stats.

Its is 15% more or is it 15% less restrictions. Its hard to tell what this 15% really means.
Note: If its to litte they will know by the number of threads and talk.
