Armor test for annihilation so far:
Perseus + Pulsar 6 (one of the better defenses for mayhem)
Up to category 6 all damage deflected
Category 7 close to no damage needs almost no healing
Category 8 up to 20 damage easily mitigated with adj resto or any lifesteal
Category 9 up to 40 damage adj resto is enugh if you do not fight more than 1
Category 10 up to 80 damage adj resto + lifesteal needed.
A few defense enhancers could ease the damage taken a lot to deny the need to heal. Higher than mine evade also helps
For categories 1-6 smaller armors + correct plates or Perseus unplated can be used
