Considering a temp that would include master Defender and force armor 2, I know there is a hardcap on innate armor, what im wondering however is how does this work when someone armorbreaks you? do you go from 70inate at Mdef w/ armor break (-65%) drops you down to 24.5 inate armor (barely above what you get for simply being initiate, Mdef totally gone all the sudden) Then:
scenario 1:
If you have force armor as well tho, assuming you have the 70 from mdef and 40 from Imp Fa for a total of 110 then armorbreak to 38.5 inate armor -is this correct?
Scenario 2:
assuming the work independantly and do stack, your Mdef gets dropped to 24.5inate, and the 40 from Imp Fa gets dropped to 14 for a cumulative 38.5
or lastly
Scenario 3:
Everything hardcaps at ~78 inate, not sure of the exact number, meaning with Mdef + ImpFa you only get 78, which is then armorbroken to 27.3 inate armor, and if this scenario is correct perhaps only using Fa1 would be wiser...
Which of those 3 scenarios is correct?
Any comments/suggestions appreciated

The cap is at +100 (10000)(60%) but I do not know if it saves the values past that.
However from my testing awhile back (may have changed) the armor break reduction was applied to the derived percentage resist and not the Innate Number itself.
+70 = 52.5%
So instead of +70 getting reduced to 24.5 which equals about 23-24% resistance left
The 52.5% is reduced to 18.375 resist
If the Innate Armor number was reduced then it might be worthwhile, but as long as it is the actual resist % being reduced there is no pioint in stacking Mdef with FA2.
Example +100 = 10000 = 60%
Innate Reduction Resist Reduction
100 x .35 = 35 left = ~32.25% left 60% x .35 = 21% left
