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...

Looks good. Is there an explanation of how armor works?
Is the armor % how much physical damage is reduced by when it's dealt?
That seems to be the accepted and IMO the correct theory. I have been meaning to test it but part of the testing is there seems to be a 5% variance in damage and there is the pesky armor penetration stat to take into account.
And don't forget there is also armor penetration involved with that too. But yes - the armor is the amount the damage is reduced without other considerations.
