Being a DK nord with capped resist, footman, using sword and board with absorb magic, ring of preservation, deep slash and standard of might while having 1 NB and 1 Templar do Nova and Veil on you, you could in theory get 95.8% total dmg mitigation, but as you can see that's 3 ultimates and 1 high costs ability(ring of preservation) that is not sustainable. Take the ulties and ring away and you get 88.35% total mitigation. That is sustainable but with the ulties and ring its not.
I have to be doing something wrong because my math says I'm just barely below the cap right now.
25000 Armor rating (with Major and Minor buffs pre-added) divided by 662 gives me 37.764% mitigation. I'm supposed to use the decimals of how much damage I'm taking, so that's .62236. I'm going to round to three digits, so .622. Blocking with my shield is 50%, so the calculation now is .622•.5. I have the 1H&S passive for the additional 20% so now it's .622•.5•.8. Then I'm using my Dark Shades, which inflict Minor Maim, reducing the enemy's damage output by 15%. .622•.5•.8•.85. Now I'm adding on Veil of Blades for an additional 30% mitigation. .662•.5•.8•.85•.7. I'm a Vampire, so as I die, my Undeath passive kicks in for up to 33%. .662•.5•.8•.85•.7•.67. That gives me an effective resistance of 89.44%. If I change my Ultimate to Bolstering Darkness it adds an additional 30%. The new number would be 93.968%.
I'm not a Nord, so I don't get the bonus Nords can get. I'm not a DK, so I'm not getting the bonus they can get. I'm not wearing Footman or using multiple ultimates or Ring of Preservation or anything like that. I've gotta be doing this math wrong.
