Did you completely miss the part about health? If you do not run max armor, you likely have less than or are at 197 health. If you have more, you survive. It is always 197 no matter what. The difference is how much armor you spec into. AKA how many health points you have. Have less than 197 l? Too bad. More, you live. It doesn't affect DAMAGE RESISTANCE. It does however effect your HEALTH. More health = more survivability. [spoiler]Just accept that you're wrong. It isn't that hard. I've provided facts and logic, you just state the obvious.[/spoiler] Edit: Armor doesn't matter against Snipers.. As it only does 188 damage. No class can go that low in maximum health. Yeah, you were shut down.
