Heiho,
even with me being not really tight to formulas and calculations I can confirm that Bone Armor protection seems now early in the order, it gets damage before physical resistance or damage reduction is applied. In 1.09 it was damaged after the effects of damage reduce and physical resistance.
I also want to add that Crushing Blow, even when an effect of its own, seems to be applied _before_ other damage calculations, whereas it was applied _after_ all other damage in 1.09.
You can kill a monster with one hit, when you do a CB and actually only enough other damage to bring it down to 1/4 of its maxlife. With the 1.09 mechanics you could not kill an enemy with a single hit and CB, when your actual damage was below the Hitpoints of that enemy, in 1.10 you can.
