AF Buff/Debuff Formula appears to be different from live/1.65

Originally, AF Buffs/Debuffs work like this: Delve * Spec Bonus * (1 + (.Armor Absorb))

With chain, you would get 67 * 1.25 * 1.27 = 106 without TOA bonus, 132 with.

On Phoenix, it appears it to be just Delve * Spec Bonus without the armor absorb multiplier.

Armor debuff worked much in the same way.

Fantastic!

Do you happen to know if AF buffs and debuffs are bugged to not incorporate armor absorb% bonuses, or if this is a paperdoll display issue?

I tested on my Hunter just now, and the formula is not taking her studded into account as per 25 days ago. Normally she would get Delve * 1.25 spec bonus * (1 + .19 [studded])

I could ask someone to double check the buff amounts on live.

I believe Spec AF/AF Debuffs followed along the lines of this formula:

ARMOR_FACT = 10 * ARMOR_LEVEL * (1 + ARMOR_ABSORB)

It could be easily checked on live. I will be asking someone with a sub to check for me.
