Swamp dragon armor: what exactly does this do?

On OSI, it used to reduce all damage to the rider by 20%, but they eventually changed it to only work against NPCs. One possible way to test its functionality would be to let weak NPCs attack you for a period of time and see if the swamp dragon armor breaks (durability was based on material type). If it breaks, it probably reduces NPC damage.

Not positive, but I think it reduces the damage YOU receive from mobiles spells.
Like dragons and balrons.
Or that's what whiteshedevil told me YEARS ago.

That's interesting....
Did whiteshedevil say if that applies to tamed dragons as well?
Tamed mares?
If its true, then damn....
Yes Vizeroth I know I shouldnt go by hearsay. Just curious is all
Maybe testing this would indeed be the best idea

Does this include things like bladespirits or energy vortex?

- In pvm combat barding gives a reduction in damage to the dragon’s rider – 10% for normal quality, 20% for exceptional quality (this does not apply to pvp combat)
- The barding will add to the mount’s natural resists in the same way as armor does for a character, giving bonuses as if it were 5 pieces of plate armor.

It increases the rate at which your swampie gets trapped by 107%

On Hybrid dragon barding does indeed provide a PvM-only damage reduction (both spells and melee), but it's a rather low amount. Instead of the flat 10/20% damage reduction based on craft quality OSI uses, the amount on Hybrid is also scaled by the material and the barding's remaining durability.
In perfect condition, exceptional valorite barding gives a 13.5% reduction. At half the durability, only a 6.75% reduction remains. For non-exceptional valorite armor those values would be 9% and 4.5%. For exceptional iron armor it's only a poor 1.5% and 0.75%.
Edit June 11: Damage reduction is no longer scaled by remaining durability.

Yes, it also works for blade spirits, summons and pets.

Welllllllll S H I T, I guess it's not a secret anymore
I am pretty fucking crazy. My fellow coworkers about 12 years ago, when I was working as a butcher, used to call me "nutzo"
I really earned that nickname the day I got fired XD
I won't bore anyone with the story. Probably wouldn't believe me anyways
