According to the shield skill, I should be getting 1 mitigation for every 25 armor.
I have 600ish armor, but 0 mitigation. But I thought armor adds mitigation? A tooltip in the game says I should be getting 1 mit for every 25. So is armor bugged, or is the damage mitigation on my character sheet bugged? or am I confused?

I'm not honestly sure if this falls into the category of bug, or just that I'm severely misunderstanding armor. I've talked to a few vets and they're pretty sure armor should be providing mitigation.

Gotcha. So it's a typo then / missing text. Then it's not just me misunderstanding and this thread is valid, horray! 😄

The metal armor set bonus is for a different mitigation - with metal armor your max armor also provides mitigation. By default, your current armor provides the mitigation per 25 points. Or, in the case of that mod, every 20 points. But it's variable, since it's based on your current armor. So at 607 armor you should mitigate 24 points of damage per hit. But once your current armor falls to 307, for instance, you'd be down to 12 mitigation per hit.
We could/should add it to the damage mitigation page, although it would be a bit strange because it would change pretty rapidly during combat. The reason it's not there, is that that page lists attributes. The current-armor per-hit mitigation is not an attribute, it's more like combat logic... But one thing that is an attribute is the per-point value, i.e. 25 and 20. That could a lot more easily be displayed on that page
At any rate, armor mitigation should still be working correctly. This is just a bit of missing info from the UI

I guess I'm a bit confused, I'm cloth armor. But that mod says if I put it on, I will get the described mitigation. So even if I'm cloth with shield skill active, will I then get the mit per 20 armor? Even though apparently I don't get the base mit per 25? The tooltip makes it sound like I should get the mit regardless of my armor type for both the 25 and the 20 armor multiplier. 👀
Like is the shield skill overriding the fact that I'm not getting the base 25/1 and give me the 20/1?
