Armour still needs some hard damage reduction like deflection
|
With the buff to armour and evasion, I believe evasion + deflection will become much better. However, armour still sucks, as it can't prevent you from being one-tapped.
Currently, ES can increase your max hit naturally, and evasion can do that with deflection. The only problem is with armour now. I suggest some deflection-like mechanic with armour. For example, it provides a hard-capped but lower damage reduction if the incoming damage is too big, in addition to the original armour formula. Last bumped on May 23, 2026, 5:06:43 AM

Well, there are ways to use deflection with Armour as well as phys to other type dmg conversion.
Also Armour has different purpose than to just bloat EHP. Ex. You sprint carelessly. Some glowing porcupine spits at you. You're hit in the eye and fall down. Nearby bystanders come closer to kich your ass when you're down. Armour survives. Es dies. Combat Balance > Feelings

"the problem there is to effectively build deflection you'll need to build evasion which is just gonna exasperate the problem with armour not scaling well against bigger hits since you have to sacrifice armour for evasion Last edited by CephalonxEnvy#7130 on May 23, 2026, 3:47:13 AM

" No you don't brother. Tactician and Shankgone gives you Deflection from Armour scaling. That makes Glancing Blows keystone to give you Lucky Deflection with no drawback too. You can Allocate/Megalomaniac some Deflection Notables as well. Combat Balance > Feelings Last edited by Evergrey#7535 on May 23, 2026, 3:53:12 AM

Throw 10-15% phys damage reduction suffix mod on Body Armour's with Armour.
Then spread 15% phys damage reduction around bottom left tree. Please GGG... each time I decide to use Cloak of Flame to improve my phys max hit I die a little inside. "The key to winning any fight is simply staying alive."
