New Inner Beast DR.. the end all be all skill

The only thing math proves is that -20% damage taken is better than +20% healing received.
Mitigation provides...mitigation.

People are just making up terms to explain something else.

And besides, why did the discussion go on "Which one is better" ? Did I mention "WAR" in my original post ?

effective hp and effective healing explicitly define what someone is talking about when using "math" to compare less damage taken to either more hp or more healing received.

effective hp = how much damage you can take when damage reduction is removed from the equation
effective heals = how much damage is healed when damage reduction and bonus healing are both removed from the equation

When you convert damage reduction, bonus hp and/or bonus healing into either effective hp or effective heals (depending on what you're talking about), then it's much easier to make meaningful comparisons between the two abilities that detail exactly why one is better than the other.

They're not terms made up to sound fancy for no good reason. They are precise terms to explain exactly what's going on.

Congratulations on agreeing.
20% mitigation translates to the following.
25% eHP
25% healing bonus

It is not made up terms, it is called math.
