Armor and Resistance

[Hieronymous]

I feel like these stats would be better if they were reworked into some appropriate level of percentile damage reduction, flat resist just falls off way too hard later in the game/in higher difficulties. Obviously some stuff would probably need to be rebalanced, like those mage tower guards and other units that have massive values + %damage reduction stances, and the skeleton with its defensive stance and defensive support buff, but I really think it would improve the feel of the game

Armour and Resistance are useless stats on high difficulties and/or late game as they don't scale, making classes like Dark Knight absolutely crap outside of More Pain.

I'm not sure it's that easy, or do you want values as 50% res if not higher? At some points enemies damages is a point you need control, you can't let enemies stack buff, you can't let some enemies stack damage increase, you can't let enemies use a stance with heavy attack.

If all those threat disappear thanks to res or armor, GAW will become like MP.

Not make res and armor pointless at GAW and above, ok, but just use percentage, I'm not sure it can fix the problem.

I don't have exact values in mind, I'm not asking for cheap 50% damage resistance everywhere, and maybe such a combat rework is too much to ask for anyway, I'm just saying it's unsatisfying how hard these 2 stats fall off later as-is. Maybe they just need better scaling (again, not asking for cheaply available massive resistance to damage, it can be in the form of temporary buffs here and there, idk.)

Darkest Dungeon uses percentile damage protection, for enemies and heroes, and it's not exactly a cakewalk (granted, our monsters don't have diseases, negative quirks and stress to worry about)

They work nicely as is.
