Armor Expertise is a passive skill available to all three classes in Torchlight. It increases the defense and decreases requirements for armor in the game.
Description[]
"Mastery of all forms of armor reduces requirement and improves armor absorption"
Progression[]
Armor expertise decreases armor requirements and boosts armor by a certain percentage. This does NOT reduces damage by a percentage, it does only boosts armor.
This passive skill gives a hidden boost to armor. That means: the extra armor is calculated in combat and is not shown in the armor description.
