how does armor exactly work - if enemies damage my guard, does it take my armor rating into consideration (so the more armor the less damage my guard takes) or does that only matter once my guard is down? if the later would mean that building up armor is kinda useless if you focus on guard skills...?

All damage reduction sources are calculated before Guard is damaged, one reason why there is a Vanguard talent that increases your armor by 20% while you have Guard up.

 

This is one of the key ways in which Barrier and Guard are different.  Armor does not apply to Barrier, so Barrier is equally as strong on a high armor character as on a low armor character.  While Guard will last much longer on a character with high armor as opposed to low armor.

Guard take into account armor, barrier does not though IIRC.

 

That's why early in the game guard tanks 1-2 hits, but as you get better and better armor as well as damage mitigation passives (turn the bolt, turn the blade, grit inquisition perk) guard ends up being nearly unbreakable, at least in non-boss fights.

Oh yeah, pop that baby in a crowd and you will have full guard, and it probably won't go down for those 10 seconds.  Combined with the 20% armor guard talent, and the two +25% guard talents (If you go Champion, making your max Guard equal to 37.5% of your total health).  With good guard management you will eventually never need health potions ever again, even on nightmare.  As you will essentially have an extra ~30% of your health pool that you can heal yourself, as long as you keep the damage in that extra health pool.

I am curious, at what point (total armor), do enemies start only dealing 1 damage? That is a hell of a lot of damage reduction..
