Defense/Armor Calculator
EDIT: Recently, I have noticed (and I have had them too) questions about how defense impacts armor. With the help of Josh_K, czarbss and scuba, a formula has been found for the defense/armor relations...

So I believe the below formula yields almost exact results:
Damage Reduction % = Modded Defense / (Modded Defense + (level * 7.5))
where Modded Defense = Floor(Floor(gear_level_armor_rating_compoundable + agi_armor_rating + str_armor_rating) * Def % multiplier from mods + Flat Defense from Mods + gear_level_armor_rating_noncompoundable)
gear_level_armor_rating_noncompoundable is any direct defense added from the current level of gear.
gear_level_armor_rating_compoundable is any accumulated defense stats added from previous gear levels other than the current
agi_armor_rating = Agi * 0.07
str_armor_rating = Str * 0.14
e.g. Fives has 15 armor added on gear level 10; this is non-compoundable. However, the armor from +30 str +5 agi added from equipped gear on g10 is compoundable.

yeah, it is the separation of the gear at the current stage that is making the difference, because I could not get the formula to work properly without that.
I am updating the calculator based on yours and czarbss post.
