I figured that the more armor gear has, the more physical resistance it has. I have a plate chest piece with 200 more armor than a leather chest piece. When I swap between them, my physical resistance stays the same. What exactly does the armor value do then?
Are you taking enchants into account?
I thought about that originally. The pieces had nearly the same enchants though. I tried to reproduce with common items and couldn’t, so maybe it’s a fluke.
