This Tool will allow you to find the specific damage reduction value associated with a units armor value.
-You can view both the WC3 GUI Value or the raw damage reduction value.
-You can modify the reduction% from 6% to any other positive value, allows you to calculate gameplay constant changes
-This is useful if you are making an rpg/hero arena etc.. and you wish to know how much damage reduction a hero will recieve with a certain amount of armor
-This is in fact using the exact formula that wc3 uses to calculate damage reduction from armor

*note a unit can NEVER receive 100% damage reduction, the value should reach 99.9% when the armor reaches (99,999/reduction%) or (16666 armor with 6% reduction) which is most likely impossible in WC3

-This will only work for windows
-Coded in VB'08/VB.net
-Please give any Feedback/Suggestions/Future requests

This tool proved useful to me as i didn't know exactly how much the raw damage reduction is and how the value for 1 point of armor decreases as armor itself increases.
 
Should make a reset button, for teh noobs who dont know the default armor reduction %

You also dont need the calculate button if the results are automatically updated when you enter the numbers.
 
What is the forumula Blizzard uses then? Also, not doubting you or anything, but where did you find the formula? I was kind of looking for it myself and couldn't find it anywhere. I wonder why they did it this way...

Thanks man this is useful, +rep.
 
Informative

I am very much pleased with the contents you have mentioned. I wanted to thank you for this great discussion.I love it greatly because I cannot find anything better than your authors.
 
Great program (works great if you can have the program running and wc3 in window mode), though I have a question:

Are there any maps that allow you to use this as practice; specifically, give you ratios, feedback and damage values?


edit: So far I would give this a five for what the program does. I just wish it did more but it does say an armor calculator!

Very helpful, however, if you could explain the calculation method, that would be even better, as it would help integrate that calculation into the map.
