Question about A site with a good description on the maths behind how armour works.

Tors · August 2015

As the question says. Can anyone link me to a site with some information on how the various armour numbers work? For example how much spell power is generated per point of armour etc

Thanks in advance

At veteran rank 14, each 650 points of armor or spell resistance reduce the damage taken from physical respectively magic attacks by 1%, up to a maximum of 50% reduction.

Prior to calculating damage, the attacker's physical/spell penetration is calculated and reduces the targets mitigation rating accordingly.

Stacking armor over the hard cap of 50% mitigation (32500 armor / spell resistance) will be effective to counter armor/spell penetration, so is not necessarily wasted.

That is all the numbers I have. Hope that helps.

I read this, and it is close enough to true for my needs:

The formula used is ([physical] resistance-100)/(level*10) where level is your level+Veteran Rank (64 on VR14), -100 because everything has a hidden 100 penetration aparently, *10 because 1.6 made everything 10 times larger.

from http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info984-MitigationPercent.html

VR level | armour for 50%(cap) resistance

VR1 | 25,100
VR1 | 25,600
VR2 | 26,100
VR3 | 26,600
VR4 | 27,100
VR5 | 27,600
VR6 | 28,100
VR7 | 28,600
VR8 | 29,100
VR9 | 29,600
VR10 | 30,100
VR11 | 30,600
VR12 | 31,100
VR13 | 31, 600
VR14 | 32,100
VR15 | 32,600
VR16 | 33,100

also i read its 1:1 for armour : spell resistance. where 1 point or armour grants 1 point of spell resistance. I think it is specifically armour not physical resitance as when i boost my physical resistance it does not affect my spell resistance.
I look it as armour grants physical resistance and spell resistance.

I apologies if i am wrong but this is what i base my excel sheet on and other sources seem to concur, but cant verfiy as console players don't see damage numbers

download an app called Eso Toolkit. shows you all the armour ratings , enchants ect. Not sure what you mean by spell power per armour though, unless you mean the set bonus (martial knowledge 3 & 4 piece bonus for instance). All those sets are shown on the app too though.

@Igglez cheers boss, I already have that App, its fantastic.

But I was more after something that tells me the value of each point of armour, what it protects against (damage wise) and how base armour affects spell resistance.

This is before all the various set bonuses etc

Is it even possible to reach 32500 armor?

@Leandor and @willymchilybily

Many thanks, thats exactly what I was looking for.
