Armor in Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition is used to improve protection against physical attacks. Various types of armor can be found throughout the game via random loots, Boss-drops, Quest-Rewards or even Crafting
Different types of armor affect your Armor Rating differently. These values can be observed from your "Character Sheet". The amount of protection is dependant on your Armor Rating and the Resistances you have to elemental attacks. These values taken together as a whole determine your defensive capability against a given attack. Various items can be used to improve these values and minimise the damage taken from enemy attacks. For more information, see the Defenses page.
Armor Rating
Your Armor Rating determines how much non-magical damage your armor absorbs. The formula below shows the calculation Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition makes to determine the proportion of damage blocked from an incoming attack. The armor rating can be improved using items, the Armor Specialist ability and other abilities like Leadership.
Proportion Blocked = Armor Rating / ((4.5 * (1 + Attacker Level)) + Armor Rating)
new formula: Proportion Blocked =~ (Armour Rating - 10 * Level + 5) * 0.6 % (with negative numbers rounded up to '1%')
Armor in Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition can be divided into the categories below. Click on each tab to see Armor of that category.

Anonymousla formula esta incompleta. lo descubri cuando la despeje para poder saber el armor rating necesario para mitigar un porcentaje fijo a un nivel fijo la formula seria: proportion blocked= ((Armor rating (-10*level)+5)*0.6%)+1%
por consecuencia el despeje sería: Armor rating= ((propotion blocked - 1%) / 0.6%)-5-(-10*level)
de esta manera se puede calcular la cantidad de armor rating requerido para un propotion blocked deaseado

Those formula don't show what I see in game.
First formula is senseless and second one give smaller reduction then in game.
For 79 armor on lvl 3 I got 33% reduction and formula show bit over 26%.

descubrí que la formula esta incompleta dado que la despeje para saber el armor rating necesario para llegar aun propotion blocked que necesitaba.
La formula completa sería: Propotion blocked = (((Armor rating+(-10*level)+5)*0.6%)+1% obviamente redondeando los valores desde .5 al siguiente numero.
el despeje para el armor rating necesario es el siguiente: Armor rating= ((propotion blocked-1%)/0.6%)-5-(-10*level)
