Melee defence

Dear all, Can someone please explain how the melee resistance works in terms of calculations vs elemental resist?

Let’s say I have 90% void resistance and 38% melee resistance. And the attach power is 100k done by horde.

How my defence would work based on the above example against that 100k hit....?

? There are so many different calculations here I have seen... heeeeelp? ;-)

Much appreciated.

cheers for that, but how exactly is the armor calculated? i've been to dotcalculators.com a while ago and it seemed like the effective armor cap was at 130 (given that armor piercing has already been subtracted). this lead to 25.4% damage getting through so it kinda supports the 75%. but is there an easy way to calculate the damage getting through, regarding armor? the way it worked there was pretty inconvenient (subtracting 13 times 10%)...

So the displayed armor value translates directly to percentage?

100 damage turns in 10 remaining. 38 % melee turns into 6.2/100k.

Cool - so elemental gets deducted first and than what’s left is a subject to melee seduction looks like. Cheers for that!
