Simply put, do they stack? I was told they don't but I personally don't see a reason why they wouldn't.

    Why wouldn't they stack ?
    Auri-El is my lord,
    Trinimac is my shield,
    Magnus is my mind.

    They do stack.
    But they do NOT stack additive
    (additive would give you 8%+8%=16%)
    they do stack multiplicative,
    which results in 15.36%

    Calculation:
    To get to the total effect, you must first convert the 8% damage mitigation into (100%-8%)=92% remaining damage.
    Defensive Posture and Footman have each a value of 8% damage mitigation.
    The total remaining damage becomes (multiplicative): 92%*92%=84.64%
    The total damage mitigation of just these two effects is then: 100%-84.64%=15.36%

    Below a link to a great post that gives a good overview with examples about damage mitigation:

    "I still do not understand why I followed the advice of Captain Rana to bring the villagers of Bleakrock into safety. We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    I don't know. That's why I wanted to ask here to get a better answer

    Thank you. I'm looking at how low I can get block cost. Right now I'm sitting in the mid 300's. and i still have room to improve. I'm not sure if I'm going to use the foorman's stuff but i might if its comes in sturdy. ill look into it and see if i can make it work on my tank.
