Armor Important Notes
- Chest Armor and pants provide most armor value.
- Armor Value depends on the item power. Armor value scales linearly.
- Armor is a source of all damage reduction against all damage types.
- A new resistance type was added in Season 11 called Physical Resistance. This means a player can have five elemental resistances and physical resistance making it a total of six physical resistance types.
- In Season 11, Toughness was added to the character sheet and is a mathematical representation of a player's effect effective HP. The higher the toughness value, the "tankier" the character.
