I’ve successfully figured out how to calculate enemy damage based on the armor you wear, but then someone hit me with “the more armor you equip the less effective your damage absorption rate is” has anyone already figured out the formula behind this decrease after the armor soft cap?

that someone capped

#

armor stacks multiplicatively, not additively

#

say you had two armor pieces each with 10% absorption

#

you put one on, you now take 90% damage (reduced by 10%)

#

you put the other on, you now take 90% of that, meaning you take 81% damage (19% reduction, not 20%)
