    Deflection at 90
    No armor +10.4 Max Damage resist
    + Bear headdress +9.4% Max Damage resist
    + Epic chest plate +7% Max Damage resist
    + Epic plate leggings +5.3% Max Damage resist
    + Epic plate boots +4.1% Max Damage resist
    + Epic plate gloves +2.8% Max Damage resist

    Sympathy of Stone at 100 and Earth Magic Specialization at 80
    No armor + 8.85 Max damage resist, +3.1 avoidance
    + Bear headdress +7.9% max damage resist, + 3.1 avoidance
    + Epic chest plate +5.9% max damage resist, + 3.1 avoidance
    + Epic plate leggings +4.5% max damage resist, +3.1 avoidance
    + Epic plate boots +3.4% max damage resist, +3.1 avoidance
    + Epic plate gloves +2.4% max damage resist, +3.1 avoidance
    There is no change in avoidance with the addition of armor pieces!
    Decrease in max damage resist with the addition of armor pieces!

    I can confirm this.

    My tests are below(all with GM in the Deflection skill)

    no armor = 11.6% max damage resist

    1 chain armor piece = 9.1%
    2 chain armor piece = 7.7%
    3 chain armor piece = 6.6%
    4 chain armor piece = 5.5%
    5 chain armor piece = 4.1%

    1 plate armor piece = 8.9%
    2 plate armor piece = 7.1%
    3 plate armor piece = 5.7%
    4 plate armor piece = 4.3%
    5 plate armor piece = 2.5%

    It also appears that plate gets less benefit from this skill then chain. everything seems backward on this skill!

    I tested this as well and figured out that Sympathy of Stone has the same issue. It also seems to affect armor other than heavy too, as equipping the Shroud changes things too:

    no armor = 12,7% Deflection 7,9% SoS
    + plate chest = 9,8% Deflection 6,1% SoS
    + plate legs = 7,8% Deflection 4,8% SoS
    + plate helm = 5,8% Deflection 3,6% SoS
    + plate hands = 4,3% Deflection 2,6% SoS
    + plate legs = 2,7% Deflection 1,7% SoS
    + shroud = 1,6% Deflection 1,0% SoS

    See edits to my original post. With Sympathy of stone at 100 and Earth Magic Specialization at 80

    There is no change in avoidance with the addition of armor pieces!
    Decrease in max damage resist with the addition of armor pieces!

    Also casting Shield of Crystal at 100 with +20 to earth attunement does not change the stats of SOS!
