Hey, thanks for the response.
You are right I don't know how it works, because, If I knew exactly how it worked, I wouldn't need to ask for a clarification, would I?
Also, I have trusted my memory of someone testing it earlier. Guess I should've done it myself.
As for motivation for change, I remember the talks that DR was not as useful as other parameters and imms were going to discuss how to improve it, some day. Help damage reduction implies that very thing and I have not seen a similar disclaimer on any other help file, so I'm not sure it's "a generic disclaimer". This was the motivation behind my post, because if I invest my time/drachma into damage reduction, how do I know it's as useful as ac or whether it'll be changed to something else?
And yes, you saying that "1 dr is roughly equal to -0.1ac" doesn't explain to me how it works, though I do find it useful even for non-tanks.
Though your math does imply DR applies after the sanc, which is fine by me, so I'll leave it at that.
Thanks again for the post.
