It's not even slightly.

OP has listed a grand total of 48% mitigation.

But also is a Nord, using pirate and Riposte. Then when casts meditate it goes up to... About 63% mitigation...

Which is cool but block would get to like 90% without any sets or abilities.

And btw you can't cast with mist form. So in mist form you're looking at .... About 80% mitigation.

And also remember Oblivion damage circumvents all of this

@Waffennacht I thought main affected all damage to include oblivion because it’s applied to the caster so damage is reduced before it touches the target? I never tested.

The equation goes as follows

MITIGATION=100-(100*(1-((Resistance/662)/100))*(1-(Mitigation #1)/100)*(1-(Mitigation #2)/100)*(1-(Mitigation #3)/100))*etc etc)

Now assume since you are building a more tanky character, you will have atleast 25k Resistances and 12% from Hardy/Ele Defender and 21% from Ironclad and 50% from Battle Spirit. We plug everything in and you will get your Mitigation.

100-(100*(1-(25,000/662)/100)*(1-(50)/100)*(1-(12)/100)*(1-(21)/100)*(1-(30)/100)*(1-(15)/100)*(1-(8)/100)*(1-(6)/100))=88.8685%

Now we look at the migitation without your additions.
100-(100*(1-(25,000/662)/100)*(1-(50)/100)*(1-(12)/100)*(1-(21)/100)=78.3668%

88.8685-78.3668=10.5017

So in reality, that 59% mitigation is only really mitigating 10.5017% of the damage you would take. This might sound very weird, but putting in terms of before and after helps explain it.

So without your additions, you will take 100-78.3668=21.6332 or 21.6332% of total damage.
So with your addititons , you will take 100-88.8685=11.1315 or 11.1315% of total damage.

11.1315/21.6332=0.5145

Or roughly 51.45% of the remaining damage of that already reduced damage.
