Because you possess an uncanny combination of selective recognition, frenetic ignorance and believe in the significance of anecdotal evidence.

I tank a fuckload of hits in melee, but regardless whether I wear 60 or 79 body armour, 2-3 bolts or 3-5 arrows and I am toast. This could have to do with my incessant backpedalling and all the melee hits I take get reduced damage from bad speed bonus, but I am fairly sure if I were to count the result would support the OP.

I always found armour way too powerful and allowing too many mistakes in this mod, except when getting shot because then it doesn't do shit.

Most melee hits are cut damage, most ranged hits are pierce, all ranged hits have the extra_penetration modifier.

It's probably this, I play an offensive shielder so I'm often pushing forward in melee so when I get hit, I get hit hard.  Frequently get 2shot despite 70hp and 63 body armor.

Applying piercing damage from range is the problem really. For melee it comes at a premium for swings, but grab any ranged weapon and you can do piercing regardless of the range

I guess ranged enjoy this 'extra_penetration'...

[Stabby_Dave]

You always notice extra penetration

[Kafein]

Buff melee damage

i agree armour just allows you to make mistakes and not be penalised .. it's pretty silly really
