Not sure if this is the right place to post this,
Was playing around in a lost sector in EDZ, messing with different armors. I'm 1347 light level current, I had a 1330 chest piece equipped on my warlock, had the damage resist mod on for sniper's, absorbed the expected amount of damage when I took the hit. When I swapped to a 1320 chest piece, my light level remained at 1347, however using the same long distance damage resist mod I was suddenly taking more damage.
Is this supposed to happen, I have always been told the light level total determines the damage taken over the gear total. but the -10 difference in gear level appears to effect how much damage I receive. Have I been mislead?
This also seems to work outside lost sectors, along with gambit.
Could someone explain this pls?
