I searched for "warhammer online combat formulas" and got viewtopic.php?t=971 this link. It's old and covers all parts of the combat formula, but I have high confidence it is still useful.

TLDR: if you have 4000 armor and enemy hitting you has 50% armor penetration, you apply your 10% reduced armor pen resulting in an attack on you that ignores 40% of your armor. You'll have to read more in that link for more info, but that's the basics.

Correct.

Just a reminder to anyone looking at armour formulas that "armour penetration" is its own unique thing and should not be additively combined with effects that ignore or by-pass armour.

Code: Select all

armor = armor from gear - static debuffs + static buffs
armorEffective =  armor * (1 - (<armor penetration%> - <reduced armor pen%>))

Code: Select all

armorEffective =  4000 * (1 - (0 - 0.10)) = 4000 * (1 + 0.10) = 4000 * 1.10 = 4400

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is the 2020 rerelease of the classic RPG Kingdoms of Amalur from way back in 2012. It sought to bring the cult classic to the masses and allow a new generation of fans to enjoy the stunning art direction and beautiful fantasy world created by some of the industry's finest.

The remaster, while suffering from a few faults, showcases a lot of what made the original so great. One of these elements was the fantastic armor sets that the player could find or purchase throughout the game. From the hulkingly heavy suits of Might armor to fabulously fantastic Finesse sets, Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is packed full of phenomenal armor.

THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY

10/10 Belen's Armor Set - Might

The Belen's Armor set is the perfect armor for those looking for a little more protection. Each piece of armor in the set focuses on melee block efficiency, granting a slight increase with each one. Additionally, the defense value and detail are both really impressive, making it a fun and useful piece of equipment.

As a complete set, the Belen's Armor set grants you a series of incredible buffs. With the entire set equipped you'll be granted increased fire damage, ice damage, lightning damage, stun duration, and piercing damage. It covers all bases in terms of offensive moves, making it an invaluable set of armor.

9/10 Gaea's Armor Set - Might

The Gaea's Armor set does not only look incredible once equipped but is also extremely useful in battle. Sporting an almost owl-like design, this set of impressive armor offers a huge buff for those looking to stun their enemies.

Once the entire set is complete, the Gaea's Armor set will grant you an increased chance to stun as well as an increased stun duration alongside adding extra armor. The combination of a higher chance to stun and stun duration can be very helpful in trickier combat engagements, making it a worthwhile set of armor.

8/10 Crucible Armor Set - Might

The Crucible Armor set's design feels like the perfect blend of fantasy tropes. It is a combination of Dwarven armor from The Lord of the Rings and the sleeker medieval armor found in games such as Skyrim. However, not only does it look great once equipped, but it is also incredibly useful.

The standard buffs granted by each individual piece of armor are fantastic enough without even considering the overall set bonus. However, should you combine every piece in the set, you'll receive increased armor, increased bleeding damage, and increased piercing damage.

7/10 Faehunter Armor Set - Might

There are so many great things about Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, from the engaging combat and the lush open environments to these phenomenal pieces of armor. The Faehunter Armor set is no exception as it proves to not only be a great-looking piece of armor but an incredibly useful one too.

While similar in design to the Gaea’s armor set, the Faehunter Armor set offers radically different bonuses. Individually, each piece of armor offers impressive buffs to your various stats. However, as a set you'll receive buffs to melee, ranged and magic block efficiency, as well as increased magical abilities and physical damage.

6/10 Captain's Vigilance Armor Set - Finesse

For those taking the Finesse route in Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, you may want to consider the Captain's Vigilance Armor set. Not only does it look great, being reminiscent of the Dark Brotherhood from Skyrim, but it also offers a series of fantastic buffs.

By equipping the entire set you'll get increased health, mana, and Finesse abilities. While that may seem unimpressive, combined with the rest of the set's individual bonuses the Captain's Vigilance Armor set will make you a force to be reckoned with.

5/10 Justice Armor Set - Finesse

The Justice Armor set is a visually stunning piece of armor that transforms you from a simple fantasy rogue into a full-blown ninja. With this set equipped, you'll not only be able to have improved physical damage resistance, but also steal additional health per hit.

When the entire set has come together, you'll receive a plethora of bonuses. The individual stat increases are already brilliant, but you'll also get the set bonus. This offers you increased damage resistance, bleeding resistance, critical hit damage, and health stolen on hit.

4/10 Lunala's Armor Set - Finesse

The Lunala's Armor set is a phenomenal armor set for someone taking the Finesse route. Not only does it offer a lot of protection to you, but it also grants you a whole range of impressive buffs like no other piece of armor. While most sets offer a handful upon completion, the Lunala's Armor set offers a lot more.

The Lunala's Armor set offers you an increase in damage resistance, critical hit damage, melee block efficiency, ranged block efficiency, magic block efficiency, and chance to stun. That's a lot of bonuses that will absolutely give you the upper hand in both offensive and defensive combat.

3/10 Dark Empyrean Armor Set - Sorcery

The Dark Empyrean Armor set has one of the best color schemes of any of the Sorcery armor sets in the game. Its black and gold design makes it appear both regal and imposing, making you feel simultaneously powerful and impressive. Furthermore, the set offers an incredible number of buffs that will massively assist you in combat.

While the set bonus alone isn't all that impressive - it gives the player increased mana, health, and Sorcery abilities - when combined with the individual bonuses it becomes incredibly powerful. The robes alone offer increased mana regen per second, fire damage, ice damage, and lightning damage. This is certainly not an armor set to miss out on.

2/10 Enke's Armor Set - Sorcery

There are so many things players will need to know before starting Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning. Knowing handy tips and tricks can really give you an advantage when it comes to combat and also making the most of your time with the game. However, one thing all players must do is try and collect the Enke's Armor set.

While not terribly visually impressive, the Enke's Armor set is unparalleled in its set bonuses. Offering those who find them all increased mana, fire damage, ice damage, and lightning damage would be enough. However, equipping this set will also decrease your mana costs. This means you will have more mana to play around with and spells will become much cheaper to use. It's an incredibly powerful combination, and one everyone should take advantage of.

1/10 Lachlan's Armor Set - Sorcery

The Lachlan's Armor set is incredibly similar in design to the Dark Empyrean Armor set, but don't let that dissuade you from collecting it. This armor set will grant you incredible magical powers once equipped as its set bonus is very powerful.

Once the set is equipped the player will get a 20 percent increase in fire, ice, and lightning damage, as well as increased mana and a chance to burn enemies who attack you. The impressive bonus to elemental damage alongside the defensive bonus makes this set absolutely worthwhile.
