Is a gladiator(versatile combatant) with skin of the lords(phase acrobatics) immune to spell damage?

The question is about avoiding the "acrobatics" keystone passive that reduces the block chance for spells. The cap to spell block is 75%(is the spell blocking cap overwritten by the anvil? i don't know, it doesn't matter now). The idea is that i can avoid the acrobatics keystone passive and go to the phase acrobatics with the skin of the lords.

Has anyone tried it?

You're not immune. It doesn't work this way. But your "pretty much immune".

At 75% block, you take spell damage 25% of the time.
Phase acro reduces this again by 30%.
But the formula is multiplicative, not additive.

Chance to not block and not dodge:
(1-75%) * (1-30%) = .25 * .7

...resulting in 17,5% of spells taken.

(change the numbers when also wearing atziri's boots, anvil etc)

Instead of the anvil I'd go for hinekora's sight. It gives a slightly, just very slightly higher chance to avoid spell damage. If you get a max roll that is.
I make dumb builds, therefore I am.
