I’ve been trying to figure out the value of armour shred and it’s difficult to guess when you don’t know how much armor enemies have. Is there any place where I can see those stats?
Normaly monsters have 0 armor.
So shred is just a plain negative armor following this curve

Thanks, so if this is accurate, there is a huge diminishing return on armour shred. But assuming it’s applied at the end of damage calculation, still something useful.
Armour shred is one of the best damage increases for hit based builds, not only phy only buidls but all kind of builds.
There are several sources fo armour shred effect and armour shred duration as well as abilities that can give multiple stacks at once.
Yes it does have huge diminishing return, but it’s still very easy to go from 0% mitigation into -50% (this about 31stacks for physical damage and if you have armour shred effect obviously less)
Depends on how often you can apply it. Some skills just don’t scale attack speed.
Of course, you can’t utilize armoru shred on every single build.
I am not here to give you specific examples, but I can tell you, you can make armour shred work on every class.
Sentinel and Rouge are the ones that have the best baseline support with armour shred effect and duration on idols and class specific affixes.
But even without that, you can still make it work very well, because there are several avaialble sources for any class.
