"No he's right, If by what I read in how he says it the 25% of armor left, Meaning you get a 75% damage increase, Do 1 thing and another result happens? 100% armor - 75% corrsive damage = 25% armor = +75% damage that he would normally take."

This is incorrect. Damage mitigation from armor does not equal amount of armor. An armor reduction of 75% would have varying effects on damage depending on how much starting armor the target had.

Assuming a target has 1000 armor, they have around 76% damage reduction. Reduce that armor to 250, however, and they still have about 45% damage reduction. That's only a 60% reduction in armor, not the 75% the Lone Tenno said.

On the other hand, if you take it to mean a 75% damage bonus and an armor reduction, it means that if you apply 100 Corrosive to your 1000-armor target, you'll deal [175-(175*.46)] damage. That calculates to about 94 damage, as opposed to 42(Only damage boost) or 34(Only armor reduction) respectively, depending on how exactly DE calculates those numbers.
