Davkul armor - nimble or battleforged?

[SirPendrak]

Both helmet and armor have 270 durability in current version, so that gives a maximum 27% BF reduction, lower if armor is damaged, but it regenerates so it does not matter much.

Complete set weights 28 fat, how does that translate to dmg reduction? i found some old spreadsheet wchich suggest it should be arround 48% reduction to both armor and hp, and shouldnt be lowered by currend armor condition, but this spreadsheet is 8 months old when nimble gave up to 66%, not 60% that is now.

I dont have the armor now, and i want to give it to my converted cultist HK, is there any way to know results before getting that armor/piciking up a perk? Or alternativelly, does annybody have a nimble brother with this armor or armor that weights 28 fat?

Checking here says you get 62% Nimble.

If you only choose one then pick Nimble. The reason being that with your armor regenerating your only real fear of death is through penetration damage which will add up faster without Nimble.

Perks willing you can run both. Taking less armor damage translates to less penetration damage slightly.

Alternatively, run only Forge and use Additional Fur Padding, which is similar to having 66% Nimble but only for your body. Your head would be vulnerable in this case.

Colossus is your friend regardless of what you do because your armor is infinite and your hp is not.

Now Im wondering what happens if you have both Nimble and BF with the Davkul set. Really, I am far too afraid to experiment taking both and feel one is the other side of the coin.

Then you would get both bonuses.
For example, I tried both on one of my games, and I gave the guy rare armor and helm. He ended up with 49% hp damage reduction from Nimble and 22% armor damage reduction from BF, which honestly I think is pretty decent.

If you want to know what they would get with any given armor, just put that armor on a nimble guy, then put it on a BF guy, and look at the bonuses.

I have the davkul armor but not the helmut.

At 28 Fat I get 63% from Nimble.

I had a helmet with 280 armor, with that I got 72% from BF.
I had a damaged copy of it, and I tried repairing-
At 266 armor it gave 73%.
269, it gave 73%
273, it gave 72%.


So my best answer is:
With Nimble you get 47% less damage to HP.
With BF you get 27-28% less damage to armor.

With both, you get both.
