This change will also increase breakage, as the armor is absorbing more damage. The durability rate decrease per absorbed appears to be correct.
The difference in absorption will be at a minimum, 2.27 times greater for the breastplate hits, for pieces at lesser locations, it's much more tremendous of a change.
This correction does not effect parry, who's calculations were correct.
