Armour applies to Elemental Damage ... BEFORE resistance?

Hi, GGG!

Today I read a wiki article about "Blackbraid" (unique body armor), which has a mod "Armour applies to Elemental Damage" - it says that this happens BEFORE the reduction by resistances, although in poe1 it works the other way around!

I also noticed that you added different sources of this mechanic (and similar ones) to the game with 0.2.0.

So ... if it really works BEFORE ... well, let's figure out if a player has 5000 hp, 75% resistance - 20000 damage from a mob is a one-shot.

What's your armor formula? How much of it is needed to reduce damage of 20000 by at least some noticeable amount? How much armor can you collect in the game?

The answer is that this mechanic is 100% useless.
