Armor Feedback

Longtime Path of Exile 1 and now 2, Player. I made a warrior this season and I am CAPPED in armor 90%, and resistances, and have a 52% chance of block. Since they took away access to Max Resistance I decided to lean into the Armor applies to elemental damage.

While I am mostly tanky, I definitely feel the large mobs and huge hits still. I have to dodge roll a great deal to not die. I think armor is rather underwhelming and I definitely die more than one would think. I have a level 90 something monk on standard from the first season before they ever made deflection and to be honest he seemed way tankier than my full investment warrior tank who even converts 30% of physical damage taken into fire damage at max res with armour applies to elemental damage.

I think Armor is almost there but definitely needs some more tweaks in the calculation to further enhance mitigation. Either that or give armor some sort of access to deflection.

I hope the team looks into this further

They will never study why armor players feel depressed, they will only want players to use the combination of evasion and shield.
