I am having trouble trying to figure out why the table given is wrong. It takes the damage blocked by your base armor and combines it with the additional damage blocked by Steel Fiber for a total of damage blocked. The title reflects this. I think you are looking more at the damage you take after this is taken into account (which would indeed be 100% minus the total percent blocked given in the table). This is a different interpretation of the effect of Steel Fiber, and does not mean the current table is wrong for what it is meant for. The final damage you receive after taking base Armor and Steel Fiber into account would then need a different table, or simply mentioning the formula used to calculate it to save much space.

I believe the issue may lie in the definition of "damage mitigation", which I percieve to be the amount of damage not taken, or blocked, from a given attack. This is different than the amount of damage actually taken from an attack after mitigation is taken into effect. As far as the information displayed on the Steel Fiber page, I believe the amount it blocks is more relevant than the amount it does'nt block.

Unless I am completely wrong. I welcome any and all corrections, for the greater benefit of the community as a whole.
