Flask dilemma [Iron Reflexes] -solved-

I use a Topaz Flask with increased armour.
Since i just added Iron Reflexes, i was curious what increased evasion would do for me.

So i changed 50% increased armour into 50% increased evasion.
And the result was +6,3% armour.

So i switched flasks from 50% armour to 75% evasion in hideout and my armour droppend from 16k to 13k.

Im confused als always.
I expexted it to be a gain.
Why is 75% evasion less than 50% armour?

Of course, this also raises the question of whether Iron will makes any sense at all for my build, even though it looks very clear at first glance.

But now I'm starting to have doubts.
Is +11k Armour really better than 48% Evasion?


Im bad at math.

When you have Iron Reflexes, your Evasion is calculated (all your flat sources, multiplied by all your %increased sources, etc.), then that final value is converted to armour, and then all your %increased armour scaling is applied. If you have some flat armour from other sources, %armour will be better than %evasion.

Is armour better than evasion? I think it would depend on your recovery/sustain. If you can tank big hits but you have low life recovery, evasion may be better. If you have good sustain (maybe fast leech or high regen), then maybe armour is better.
Master Surgeon gives me 2.9k life regen. So i stick with Armour then.
Means the +6% flask is probably just another wrong PoB calculation?


Thank you
