So as the title asks… We know that armor caps at an 85% mitigation… But like… Do we know what DR caps at? I’m so stacked on DR and it just feels like it doesn’t do much any more when I keep stacking more… You guys know anything?
i feel like DR doesnt even work except for DR vs DoT
Damage Reduction is multiplicative, not additive. The cap is 85%, but you’ll never reach it in the Loot Reborn mechanics. There’s simply not enough sources.
The general formula is [1-(1-DR1%) * (1-DR2%) * (1-DR3%)…]
Thus if you 20% DR on one piece, and 20% on another, your actual DR is 36%.
DR applies step-wise. Take 1000 damage, it gets reduced by 20% to 800, then the 800 get reduced by 20% to 640. Voila! 36% from your original 1000.

I assume the 50% is from a shout/temp buff?

I’m unsure if Shouts/Temp abilities allow you to exceed the cap or not.
For instance, temporary attack speed (such as from Frenzy) allow you to exceed the Attack Speed Cap.
Oh! Oops! I wonder why it didn’t copy the 8%, but got the 50% below it. I’m on mobile atm, so it’s a bit of a pain.
It also missed the 12%.
Thanks! 
Let me start over. RE-DO!
1 - (.8 * .72 * .82 * .85 * .88 * .92 * .5) = 84%

Martial Vigor + Tempering = 4 Pieces of gear (we’ll say +5 ranks each piece) = 20 Ranks + 3 Base Ranks = 23 Ranks @ 4% DR each.
92% DR.
This would include being lucky on Masterwork upgrades. Personally I’ve gotten it up to 60%. Against Elites only, but that’s all that matters anyway.
I just want to throw out that you get 100% dmg reduction if you don’t get hit

Well against Outlaw Sharpshooter, you are super positioned so it is actually 50%.
