Idol bug? I’m questioning something that maybe you can look at. I equip a Stout Glacial Lagonian Idol of Life (+7 Freeze Rate Multiplier and +12 Life) in an empty slot and for some reason that I cannot understand it lowers my Armour rating by 1% and my Void protection by 1%. It has the same effect on my Physical Mitigation and Void Mitigation on Block as well.
Took a couple of screenshots but for some reason I can’t get them uploaded right now.

It’s not a bug, the armour & protections are relative to your hp, not absolute (like in PoE), so if you increase the max health (or ward) then the % damage mitigation reduces.
The percentage is calculated thusly (ignoring ward to keep the formula tidy) = protection / (health + protection).
So if you have 100 health & 100 protection, you’re mitigation 50% (100 / (100 + 100)). If that health increases to 200, you’re mitigating 33% (100 / (200 + 100)). But if you decrease the health to 50, you’re then mitigating 66% (100 / (50 + 100)).
