Angel blocked 20 damage, 5B blocked 12, so a total of 32 is blocked. Since the hit was just 20, the resulting damage you recieve is 20-32=-12 which is impossible so will be 1.

But you still pay decay as if you absorbed 32 damage, so 2.52 decay.
...damn.

So plates are best in circumstances where you always receive more damage than your protection. It doubly reinforces the maxim: don't overprotect!

Nice work. (Goes off to spread it around)

My guardian+2c uber 6 point protection system is still good for impact mobs.
