Check out the initial hit, the amount the armor reduced and the number above my head.
clicky
I've also noticed that the combat log shows the same amount of damage reduced while wear 1 piece of armor as it does while wearing an entire suit.

Umm ... yeah. I suppose the best thing to do would be to do some more testing, particularly in regards to hit placement (non-specific hits vs. head / body / leg hits) and wearing various armor pieces.
And if the armor itself isn't even working ... egads.

Monroe and I played with it the day they unlocked the frogs and even just wearing a helmet or a bracer I was fully protected. I did /bug it.

Did you test it vs. headshot / bodyshot / legshot?

I honestly dont remember what he fired at me.
That is the one piece vs a full suit. But according to the number above my head in the pic, 0 damage was blocked. If anyone gets on I'll be happy to try more testing.

I just did a duel with someone. Again the combat log shows damage is being reduced but the number above my head does not indicate that.
In this one the acid damage isn't indicated. Very weird.

You know, I am beginning to wonder if armor is bugged right now, and the reason it seems to matter very little in PVE is that something is actually broken...
Might be worth investigating.

next time you test, watch the character sheet (ctrl+c) to see if the amount reduced matches amount over your head.

BTW, how the hell is a borgle doing "energy damage" ??
My recollection is that borgles will do some ranged attacks (currently they count as acid, I think, although I could be 100% wrong). It makes sense that under the new system, creatures will do kinetic melee attacks and energy ranged attacks.
