ZOMG, I REMEMBER THAT.
Taking SWTOR seriously taught me math so much better than school ever did.
That's awesome! To this day that formula is completely Greek to me.
Guard useless on nightmare?

It's mind-boggling, really. This, for example, is crit chance in TOR:
50 + 30 * ( 1 - ( 1 - ( 0.01 / 0.3 ) )^( ( SurgeRating / max(Level,20) ) / 0.11 ) )
A lot simpler, no?

Granted, the one you mentioned factors all sources of damage mitigation, so it's understandably more complex. Not to that extent, though. BioWare is just weird.

BioWare has always been good at using weird math, logic and systems as a whole to calculate damage mitigation. I gave up on learning DAI's by myself the moment I noticed that the supposed 25% armour increase from the guard passive does not, in fact, increase your armour by that amount.
In Dragon Age Origins and 2 we had access to their math.
Also that passive works for me, just checked. 148 armor becomes 178 when guard is up. That's the advertised 20% increase.

Through mods, if you mean in-game. Pretty sure about that. Besides, it was weird back then already, even if not as much.
That's... weird. I'll test this again tomorrow, but I swear to God my previous results were inferior to the supposed increase.

Through mods and through the fact game mechanics were not so mmo-style obfuscated. When Origins came out we also had Bioware employees explaining to us how the system worked and who it was designed.
