Armor Calculations - Tank Class

Conditions: Max Vitality, Rank 30 (740 HP, 450 Shields) >builds have use same amount of mod slots, same amount of mod points (26) >max rank steel fiber is 110% armor, not 120%. taken into consideration


 * [Redirection Build, instead of steel fiber]

Damage taken after mitigation at base: 40%

Max Vitality, Rank 30 EHP : 1850 (2660)


 * [Steel Fiber Build, instead of Redirection]

Damage taken after mitigation at max: 1 - 315/415 = 0.24096386 (24.1%)

Max Vitality, Rank 30 EHP : 3070.99994 (3520.99994)

Difference = 861 EHP, 32.37% tankier for steel fiber over redirection

Conclusion

Steel fiber is superior for raw EHP if you must hold aggro all the way. Though it loses its purpose on a Rhino ironically, as he already has Iron Skin. A steel fiber build would be more orientated for a Frost, his alternative helmet gives him an unknown bonus to armor so that's quite a wild card. The Steel Fiber build is very team oriented and very situational, ie noone else in your team can take damage. Perhaps the raw EHP will come in more useful for future boss fights, but for now a steel fiber build isn't all that practical.

Do correct me if I'm wrong.
