Armor vs dodge
Breakpoint, armor 0 or more, dodge below its cap
Armor wins while Armor < 84 − Dodge%
With 30% Dodge, each Armor point adds more effective HP than +1% Dodge until 54 Armor; past that, +1% Dodge adds more. At the dodge cap only Armor still helps.
Why A = 84 − D
Dodge is rolled first; a hit that lands is multiplied by 15 / (15 + Armor). Effective HP against large hits is therefore (15 + A) / 15 × 1 / (1 − d). One more Armor raises it by 1 / (15 + A); one more percent of Dodge raises it by 0.01 / (0.99 − d). The two are equal when 15 + A = 99 − D, so A = 84 − D. Rounding and the 1-damage minimum are ignored; against small hits armor is worth less, because every landed hit still deals at least 1.
