If one of the goals here is to make mods simpler, then I have 2 suggestions:
1) Don't have both flat and % mods for things like defense. It is impossible to know what a +10 defense substat does. It doesn't add 10 to anything. And we really don't need both flat and % on most stats. I know some other games do this, but in those games it is very clear what +1% or +10 mean. In this game it is gibberish as often as not.
2) Make the % substats like defense actually add the stated % to the stat in question. Again, look at defense - a 1% defense mod does not increase your armor by either 1% of it's base value, nor 1% of it's current value. And it is impossible for most of us to understand how it impacts other stats like resistance. Some folks on Reddit figured out the formula, and it is ridiculously non-intuitive.
Fundamentally you have a hard-to-understand mod system because you have stats like offense and defense that impact multiple stats on your character sheet. Until you fix that, the rest look like nice changes, but they aren't really addressing the problem.

All they need to do is display what your armor is. Because that's what's being adjusted by the mods.
