So how does Armor % work now?

[str898mustang]

Just wondering how armor % works now since they changed the formula or whatever

[ThEoRy]

The % got nerfed a bit making them not the end all be all deciding factor as they once were. This way B rank armors won't be stronger than A rank. In addition, we all got a def boost in order to balance the % nerf.

I dont notice any difference. If % didnt mean anything then Sega would do away completely with Element %

[Pillan]

It's only around a 25-30% element nerf, so it's not a huge difference. I can still reduce level 100 mob damage to under 100 unbuffed as an 100/15 Caseal FG wearing 42+% Cardia-senbas, and that goes down to around 50 with AT buffs.

The annoying part is that level 50 enemies still deal a little damage to you unbuffed...

They did the same with weapons as well...

If it's the same as with the weapons I believe the % only counts over the armor's defence now, not your total defence.
