Double-dipping or dev short-cut creating misleading character stats?

Unintuitive Mechanics Guide for LE

So there’s a few more hours to beta, in the meantime here’s a little mechanics guide for some of the less obvious systems in Last Epoch : First up, Protections (resistances in other game) : This includes armor, which actually means “physical protection”, acting the same way as other protections do. They are relative to your total HP pool. Each point of protection will act as one point of hp when taking damage, meaning the mitigation percentage formula is damage resisted = protection_value…

It’s not my formula, but form a dev but yes obviously from tree and from gear should be one “factor”.
