As @Liath said armour reduces damage for instance if your armour is 30% then you will only take 70% of the potential damage.
That would be on reducing damage to both Health and Protection or just Health?
I wasn't sure if Armor would reduce damage on Protection at all.
As I said, there is no such thing as “damage to health” or “damage to protection.” You just take damage, and if you have protection that damage depletes your protection first (unless it’s one of the few abilities that bypasses protection). If somebody does 2000 damage to you, it’s 2000 damage regardless of your health or protection. If you happen to have 1000 protection left at that moment, it will remove that and also the remaining 1000 off your health. The armor reduction is to the damage so it makes no difference whether you have protection at the time or not.
