Decay was measured with the bottles of sweat.

Assuming that this armor decay is 4 cut + impact, it is possible to estimate the impact percentage of atrax young. My calculations show that it is about 26.5%, or in integers 10 impact out of total damage of 37.
Just confirming the math here.

0.750 decay is 11.15 dmg. Then 7.15/(11.15+15.3)=27.0%
0.870 decay is 12.6 dmg. Then 8.6/(12.6+19.3)=27.0%

37*0.27= 10 Impact.

Gnome+5a (protection: 18 impact, 8 cut, 0 stab): min dmg taken - 1.0; max dmg taken 11.5 (didn't test max dmg long enough though, but got also 11.3 and 11.4).
Full damage is offered to both armor and plates. So you can protect 11 Impact and 4 Cut from the Gnome. And another 7 Impact, 4 Cut from the plates.

So I'd expect you to protect 8 Cut (4 Cut on both) and 17 Impact (10 Impact on Gnome, 7 on plates) for a max hit. That's 25 protection. So you should take a max of 12.0. Which is in line with your data.

(It may feel odd but this is an expected result - although the mob hits you for only 10 impact, you absorb it with both the armor and the plates so you actually protect 17 Impact, the extra is effectively deducted of the other damage types that aren't protected against)

On a min hit you're protecting 10 Impact (5 on both) and therefor at least 7.5 Cut. Thus the plates and the armor are taking at least 3.75 Cut each. Since the actual number must be either whole or end in 0.5, they must be taking at least 4 dmg each. So we can deduce on a min hit its doing at least 4 Cut damage.

So we know Atrax Young does 10 Impact, at least 8 Cut.

We'll have to think up a few more tests to figure out the rest. I can't think of an obvious way to do it (unless you happen to have Thunderbird or Vindicator) but I'll have a think.
