Armor maxing out at 3

My armor cannot exceed 3. If I only wear my 3 armor chest I am at three armor, if I put other pieces on it doesn't add anything. I should have 7 armor but my stats only show 3. Is anyone having a similar problem?

 

Yea, mine is stuck a t 5 yet I have about 11...

 

I think armor may be an aggregate, not simply additive. I suspect some formula averages it out based on covering.

 

Armor divides total armor by 3. So you have a 3 + 4 = 7 / 3 = 2.3 and it is rounded up so it is 3.

 

yea all 3 of my pieces were 5 so my armor was 5 the above post is correct

 

That's pretty crazy, what is the point in that? Just seems overly confusing.

 

Does that mean there's no added protection from wearing more than one piece of armor (the one with the highest value)?

 

It will still be divided by 3 and armor is very important, so you want the best gear asap... specially in the second tier.

Silver x 3 equipment makes everything do 100 damage, but Silver x 2 + Steel x1 makes them do about 80 damage and you only gain 2 more defense.

Maybe every point of defense reduces enemy damage by 10...
