I just got out of pre-sear, (in post-sear) and i went to the armor shop. Im confuse on what the difference between these two effects.

+10 AL vs Physical, Reduces damage from attacks ||| +20 AL vs Physical

What does "Reduces damage from attacks" do?

Which one would be better to use?

it does exactly what it says...reduce attacks (not elemental attacks i belive).
It depends how much you want to spend. If you have the money, then go for it, or just get the worse of the 2 equipment.

Sorry, but that article clearly states that the actual amount of damage reduction is unknow.

Good article though, for other reasons.
