Live no spec: QA with spec:

From what I got from the stream, this is the math.

The new armor change deals with the "last" 20% of the incoming damage so:
.2/ (1+armorspec)

So @ 110 Gives: .2/(1+1.375) = .084 ~ You take 8.4% instead of the full 20%

It seems like we should be getting the "blocked" % added onto our existing Max% (absorption) number so:

110 spec would add 11.6% to absorption, give me 80.9%

 

What I am wondering, by the way I've seen this worded, is, maybe it would only work if you were past the 80% mark? As in Pre-R68 max would be 80%, but R68 and forward the Max can reach higher?

Maybe I'm just miss-interpreting things too, haven't watched the Stream Video on this yet!

 

That is what I thought at first then I went back and watched it again. I could still be wrong but I felt it was better to create the bug report than not.
