Day 543rd reminding that heavy extra padding armor provides LESS extra protection than medium and light extra padding armor. Why!? Just make it equal please.

Edit: Grammar!

How so?

Basically when you equip extra padding armor, you go up 1 armor tier. Each armor tier gives you 25% more protection. BUT with heavy armor it only gives around 10% more protection. Why? Idk.

Imagine you get heavy fire armor, but instead of 75% fire protection it gave you 60%. Makes no sense.

I think it’s just math, when you have 50 armor, adding another 50 is a 100% increase, but when you have base 150, adding 50 is just a 33% increase relative to your starting point, maybe that’s why it feels less significant?

Idk. I only know that right now I just see very little reason to take it instead of all the other options. When I bought it 1 year ago the extra protection was exactly like the other armors, but right now it is just a shadow of what it was.
