Dear Raze,

I have a question for you.
Off course I don't mind if others join in,but this is related to an answer you gave in a post explaining how armor works.
You stated that each piece of armor has an individual armor rating that is used in calculating how much danmage is absorbed when that piece is hit.
You further said that the general armor rating is just there to give you a global idea about how good your armor is overall. In saying so you seem to suggest this is just an average number to give you an idea about how well you are globally prorected by armor, but that this is not actually used in calculating how much damage is absorbed when a piece is hit.
This makes me wonder if the skill "augment defense" actually works.
When I put skillpoints into it,only the general armor is augmented by the listed percentage,but not the individual armor on each piece of equipment.
So does this mean the skill is useless because it is not used in calculating the amount of damage absorbed or does it work in another way?
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
