It's ok, I figured it out now - shields and bracelets do not need to be handled in any special way. The only interesting thing is that they finally raise the AP above 100%.

Mixed damage types, and mixed resistances on armors make it more complicated. I did explain this in one of the sections of the document, but I guess I didn't explain it well enough.
ok thanks, got that.
Where did you explain what? oO I'd be really interested in the calculation of different damage types...

You can more easily visualize some of these things on my armor calculator. It also has source code available.
yep ok. (I miss a prompt of the users current armor points on this calculator :< )

I do like your calculator very much!
Thanks for your help, have a nice day,

EDIT
I hope you are ok with me spamming throughout your thread... (can you say so? huh. By the way, you will have to excuse my command of english.)
But I fell over another example. Could you be so kind and tell me where I am making any mistakes, please?
Some random barbarian is being equipped with elite armor consistently (you may also click here for a picture) and has total 7% armor bonus.
He should then have about
Code:
( 226 * 1.07 * 1.33 ) + 9+10+10+9+5 = 364.62
armor points, shouldn't he?
Character log says 370.
