Armor and spell resist

Long time ago I looked up how armor and spell resist relate to dmg reduction. Then I took a 1.5 year break and now Im trying to find out how it works again.
It used to be (1.0-1.5 era) that the relationship was not linear.
Meaning that having 10k armor for example was only 7-10% dmg reduction. 20k armor was about 25%. 32k armor was 50%. So the frst 10k was very little but the higher you get the faster it increases (i.e.: exponential and not linear).
Is it still the same way or have they changed it? This info is based on my memory from back then... Cant find the spreadsheet with the data anymore.

Read that thread, its all you need to know about resistance and damage mitigation. TL;DR: 662 resistance equals 1% mitigation, resistance goes up by a linear rate. 33,100 is the Hard Cap at 50% mitigation but this only counts for a tiny bit of your total damage mitigation.2

✭✭✭✭To my knowledge, roughly 600 resistance =1% damage reduction. 33000-ish resistance is cap. This applies to physical, spell, and elemental resistances.1
