physical damage reduction ingame vs path of building

hi in game i got 90% physical reduction 20k armour plus physical reduction on gear

but in path of building only show 78% is the ingame tooltip accurate? why it show me 90% ingame

thx

Armor is less effective the harder the hit you are taking is.

The ingame tooltip shows dmg mitigation vs white trashmobs and is therefore correct but also useless.

PoB calculates the average dmg depending on your settings in the config tab. So if you selected pinnacle bosses in the config, PoB will show the phys mitigation vs the average hit a pinnacle boss would deal.


Overall PoB is way closer to reality than the ingame tooltips as long as your config is set up correctly.

ya your right if i put off pinacle boss in pob i got my 90%

since for now only doing juice t16 i dont need more also got the option to put Energised Armour to get 81% on pinacle if need

thx

20k armor is not 90% pdr vs a boss. You will get one shot by any physical telegraphed skill. I dont know what button you checked but that 90% is not accurate and the 81% isnt even close either.


And 20k armor is not a lot for juiced t16s either. Its ok but any kind of juiced mob will tear through that armor.

Read wiki "armour".

Look at formula to understand how it works.

got 14 hard phys reduce from body armour and shield


in pob if i put standard boss i got 90% and uber pinnacle 70%

and for the 81% that if i put Energised Armour that boost my armour to 30500


build very tanky have to build lot of Wisp to feel a bit threatened

thx for the replies

Most confusing tool tip in the game, needs a different display. Nonsensical for new players.
