if everyone reads this full page (this should post on still page 2)

they will finally KNOW what actually ignores armor.... and honestly, its about understanding words when you come down to it. Strike, struck = implys that will hit the armor first. takes, deals = means no monkeying around, they take 100 dmg? THEY TAKE 100. no math..

Also, this was either written some time ago, or the author hasn't been keeping up to date, because shields obviously don't have mods that reduce all types of damage, only physical :/
Poor show all round...
why so? i have shields with +10AR vs lightining dam, +10AR vs cold dam, i saw alot of shields with +7-10AR vs earth and fire. plus there r alot of shields that give u up to +10AR vs certain type of physical damage, such as slashing, piersing, blunt....

Yes, I'm officially blind. Thanks for the correction. Only chaos damage appears to have been removed.

Stop attributing armor ignorance to damage type.
So when a warrior hits me, does it do: Base Dmg + Skill Damage? Or Base/Skill damage only?

Reduces as in not armor. "Physical damage is reduced by 2 while enchanted".

Base+skill. Base is calculated the normal way, armor and so forth, and then the listed attack skill damage is tacked on. Then this is reduced by enchantments or absorption etc...

If the quotes on the first page of this thread were accurate, then the article has been recently edited.
Still has errors though.
