Flaring armor and warrior resistences...

[Spooky]

Question: If I put 40% (incredible) puncture resist on my full plate, but am wearing armor assossories that have flares, such as flaring leg and head/neck protection, and I get hit on that area, I notice I still get puncture protection. Is it the full 40% or halved on these areas?

Everything I know would lead me to believe that it's effectively halved. Dunno if there's been official posts or testing done on this though.

edit: This exact example isn't given, but based on my interpretation this means it would definitely be halved. http://www.krakiipedia.org/wiki/Changes_to_padding_and_damage_weighting_%28saved_p ost%29#Armor_Accessory_.26_Padding_Changes_-_REVISIONS

edit2: Or maybe not... i dunno. I quit.
