Question regarding armor and resistances.

Often times I am in the lower levels of Phobos and I will find Green Armor. Green armor only has 2 resistances (bullet and shrapnel 15%) but I still seem to notice improved damage protection against many enemies I wouldn't expect to such as Imp (fire damage), Cacodemon (plasma) and so on. So I am a bit confused on the armor damage mitigation mechanic. I am assuming armor protects against every form of attack, but armor sets have additional resistance to specific attacks. For instance Blue Armor will protect against every attack in the game but have additional resistance to Plasma (20%).

Is this correct?



 

Matt_S:
There's the protection value of armor (the number in square brackets, which is reduced for damaged armor), which is the amount of damage that gets reduced by pretty much all attacks.  The exceptions are plasma damage, where only half of the protection value (rounded down I think) is taken off the damage, and shrapnel, where double the protection gets taken off.  There's also the piercing damage type which I'm pretty sure only the player can get through some special things.  So green armor cuts 1 point of damage off of most attacks, but I don't think it will do anything for plasma damage from cacodemons.

Fittingly, the id for the Arena Master is "arenamaster".
