  I’ll calculate (Reinforced – Impenetrable) for a range of Reinforced Armour and Critical Chance. To put into perspective the range of Reinforced Armour. The reinforced traits gives 16% increased armour for a legendary item. The lowest armour piece at V14 is a light armour sash with a base armour of 511. Thus for this particular item, reinforcing it would increase Reinforced Armour by about 82.
  Using a critical damage multiplier of 1.5 and an extra reinforced mitigation of 100/66000 the following is calculated
  
  
  
  This shows that impenetrable is always preferred when comparing between 250 increased critical damage resistance and 100 bonus armour from reinforced
