Rank 6 Stoneskin: Reduces damage by 27
Assuming 30% damage reduction by armor:
Actual Stoneskin reduction: 18.9
Rank 6 Stoneskin, fully Improved: Reduces damage by 32.4
Assuming 30% damage reduction by armor:
Actual Stoneskin reduction: 22.68
Three talent points to take 3.78 less damage per hit? No thanks. It gets worse the better your armor is.
