One Shot in Act six by Silverback with 73% phys reduction and 1800 life.

73% Armor doesn't reduce 73% Phys damage .
You would need probably around 4K health to not get instakilled here , but he's also capable of eventually Crit you into the grave so ...

Just curious, are the hits and slams of this boss able to be blocked by "raised shield"?

Nah Raise Shield / Block have been designed at being unable to tank Bosses red attacks .

the "pre buff" formula for armor damage reduction was :

(Armor value)/((Armor value)+(12*damage))

lets say you have 18000 armor and get hit by 8000 damage physical hit then your damage reduction will be 15.7% and you will still take 6736 damage


regardless how you apply the "15% buff" the result gets changed so little it might as well not matter

I have tested this boss on a level 75 character with no armour. He does around 1000 damage in Act 3 Normal and around 2000 damage in Act 3 Cruel. He one-shot me for 1400 life on a level 30 character, so there could be an innate damage reduction for every level you gained.

you think your shield is Captain America's crazy indestructible shield that can held an incoming 200mph truck face on? 😄😂🤣

armor & block are basically taking that sort of physical logic route. If it looks logical, it works; if it looks not logical, it have no effectiveness against it. To put it simply.
