Has anyone actually checked this? The only "evidence" I've seen that the mitigation contributions are incremental integer gains are the floating combat text, which show only whole numbers. It's entirely possible that the game tracks the smaller gains but the FCT just rounds it off and no one notices because the variability of damage is greater than even the 1% incremental gains that we see. Unless a dev explicitly said that it works in 1% gains and that there are no incremental gains in between or there is a *massive* amount of *highly* controlled data, there's no real way to *prove* that there are no mitigation gains outside of the tiers.
