Armor vs. Damage Reduction

So I have a full set of Ascalon armor.

Just how much does "reduces damage from attacks" do? I thought +armor reduced damage from attacks.

I wonder just how much +armor that ability is essentially worth.

I believe Armor reduces your chance to be hit and the reduction in damage comes into play after you have been hit.

I've been wondering this as well. Armour already gives a reduction in damage taken... and the additional reduction isn't clearly stated.

Anyone have a definitive answer on this?

There are alot of useful guides on this site. Check them out.

At the moment, you only need 1 peice of the ascalon armour as all pieces dont stack. So just get the boots or gloves for the armour, and get some higher AL armour for the rest.
