00:27 quick sheet update, 2:12 Reddit post, 5:09 what the numbers mean for PvP – a list of skills, 6:41 applying the numbers, 9:34 Block stability, 13:01 Conclusion – what armor to wear, 15:59 tiers lower than 5, 17:00 references

I watched a lot of videos on health vs damage and other good videos. These videos include known names like Big Bear, Ser Medieval and others. This recording is an attempt to take all that information and explain how to apply

Quick Reference sheet I worked on with others: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qrwS5K5ZFGvm_04C-uc1IYrF-z-bJMbXj8BE4YBkBaY/edit

TLDR:

Assuming that 565 value is correct, anything after this is .064% damage reduction per point of physical or elemental resistance (up until the next drop off)

Epitome of Bonk, Weakened Defenses, and Death's Embrace lower a target's armor by 10%. Using these numbers it is possible to conclude that 100 armor reduction is the best you are getting with these abilities (at that break point). That results in a 6.6% damage increase from the reduction

Skills that have requirements or are not on the way to the bottom of the tree are not valuable. Death's Embrace under Great Axe is an example of this. It only applies that 10% when the target is under 30% health

Epitome of Bonk (Hammer) and Weakened Defenses (Musket) are good because they are on the way to the bottom and apply to the target at all times (examples)

Using the numbers I would recommend that you use Medium Armor weight until Tier 5. At Tier 5 you can make the decision as to if you want to go Light or Medium weight because you will reach that 565 damage drop off by then

Conclusion: Heavy Armor weight is not worth it.. Even for a tank (imo)
