3. In which order are Energy Shield, Bone Armor and Cyclone Armor applied?
All I know is that they all seem to take effect before resistances."
Interesting post. Maybe I read this incorrectly, but thought I would speak up. I don't know about energy shield and bone armor, but cyclone armor now works after resistances. If you have higher resistance to an element, the cylone armor stays active longer and you wont take any damage.
For instance I can survive 5 Souls shooting chain lightning at me with 75 lightning resist (from wizard spike) and cyclone armor; and the armor is still active as I run and hide and recast the cyclone armor. :P But if I have magic find gear on (alibaba) and around 30 lightning resist, and get hit by a few Souls, the cyclone armor is instantly destroyed and I die.
I think in 1.09, cyclone armor took the full damage of the elemental attack. Now it takes a smaller percent of the damage based on your resistances, but still protects you 100% while its active of course.
