Iron Reflexes, Steel Skin, Leather & Steel

All,

How would the Iron Reflexes keystone interact with having passives that up both your armor rating and your evasion rating?

Iron Reflexes says it converts all evasion rating to armor. Steel Skin gives a 30% armor buff. Leather and Steel gives a 24% evasion rating buff.

I am hoping that the best case scenario would be what happens. Specifically, I would think that Leather and Steel would pump the evasion rating by 24%, then all that evasion would get converted into armor due to Iron Reflexes, and then the Steel Skin passive would see all this juicy armor rating and then stack 30% more on.

But is that how it really works?

Thanks for your help!

haha sadly not, it only applies once (the armor % after conversion)

Steel Skin affects Iron Reflexes armor.

I'd like to know if Leather And Steel affects it twice though...
+24% evasion.
1000 evasion becomes 1240.
+24% Armour
1240 armour becomes 1500+.

It does not, it only effect's one. There was a dev post somewhere about it because I was wondering the same thing while ago.

So then if I go for Iron Reflexes, there is no point in getting the evasion rating stuff at all? Only the Steel Skin and other armor boost passives will then matter?

Thanks!

A 20% boost to your evasion will still increase your "armour" with Iron Reflexes, but as Mark just clarified, only once, not twice.

TYVM for that Mark.

I guess I don't understand the jargon. Once versus twice? I wouldn't expect anything to apply twice. Or do you mean that both multipliers font apply?

If so, which one takes precedence? Or are things additive vs multiplicative.

I am just trying to figure out, on a character which will have lots of dexterity and lots of strength, whether there is value in taking all 3 such perks? Or will one of them be mostly pointless?

I want to be able to mix and match evasion stuff and armor stuff for maximum flexibility, survivability, and most important, looks. I was hoping that by taking all 3 (and similar passives) that I would retain maximum survivability while also being able to pick gear as much based on looks as anything else.

Thanks, and sorry for my confusion. The wording on previous responses wasn't precise enough to pierce my ignorance. :)

Thanks for your replies and your patience!

Oh I see where I got confused. I didnt expect Leather and Steel to apply twice.

Rather, I was hoping that Leather and Steel's 24% benefit would be converted to armor using Iron Reflexes, and that THEN Steel Skin would stack 30% onto the total armor I have from all my evasion conversion.

So basically (100% * 1.24) * 1.30. Thats would I would hope.

Thanks!

All I can say is, what you are trying to do IS worth it, my dual claw ranger had 10k armor before flask doing that and it was face tank lol to everything.
