Lol, I happened to test Nidus out in the Simulacrum at the same time as you, except I tested with Corrupted Butchers.

At first, I tried testing to see if Steel Fiber affected Nidus's armor gained from his stacks. But then this was the result.

1110 HP and 700 armor (70% damage reduction) = 3700 EHP (No Steel Fiber with max stacks)

1110 HP and 1030 armor (77% damage reduction) = 4826 EHP (Steel Fiber with max stacks not affected)

1110 HP and 1430 armor (83% damage reduction) = 6529 EHP (Steel Fiber with max stacks affected)

Tested with a lvl 100 Corrupted Butcher

With Steel Fiber and 100 Stacks = 8 butcher strikes until death

With Steel Fiber and 10 Stacks = 8 butcher strikes until death

With Steel Fiber and No Stacks = 8 butcher strikes until death

Without Steel Fiber and 100 Stacks = 6 butcher strikes until death

Without Steel Fiber and 10 Stacks = 6 butcher strikes until death

Without Steel Fiber and No Stacks = 6 butcher strikes until death

(On the 5th butcher strike, Nidus barely survives with around 50 health on all 3 instances)

It might be a bug in the Simulacrum, but it seems that Nidus didn't gain any armor bonus from his stacks at all. But then again,this was a pretty primitive way of testing so I don't really know.
