Oh sorry my poor wording is just as bad as them.... *sigh*
Guardian 1: 80% base armor, 4000 HP 100 DPS received
Guardian 2: 95% base armor (with AoD active.) 4000 HP 100 DPS received
Guardian 3: 80% base armor, 4000 Hp, regen 20-25% HP per MIN, 100 DPS received
Assumption 1: 100DPS is being received by each guardian. AoR and AoD are assumed to be maxed at all guardians are assumed to have at least 8 or more mobs in their aura until they die.
Assumption 2: All guardians have the same max health. In reality the AoR guardian who puts more points into health is likely to have 50%-100% more health.
Scenario 1: How long will each guardian survive on a linear timeline?
Scenario 2: If the AoR guardian had an expected health of 50% more how much longer would they survive?
Scenario 3: If there is burst damage every say 10 seconds of 2.5x the amount of DPS (250 damage ever 10 seconds) which guardian would deal with this the best?
My math:
Scenario 1:
Guardian 1:
(1-.8) x 100 = 20 damage received per second. 4000/20 = 200 seconds before death.
Guardian 2:
(1-.95) x 100 = 5 damage received per second. 4000/5 = 800 seconds
Guardian 3:
We already know its 20 damage received per second. To heal 20% health per minute that = .2 x 4000 = 800 heath per min 800/60 = 13.33 per second
.25 x 4000 = 1000 heath per min 1000/60 = 16.66 per second
20 damage per second - 13.33 damage per second = 6.77 damage received per second
4000/6.77=
590.84 seconds before death at 20% health regen per minute
20 damage per second - 16.66 damage per second = 3.44 damage per second
4000/3.44 =
1162.79 seconds before death at 25% health regen per minute
Summary:
Guardian 1 lives 200 seconds. Guardian 2 lives 800 seconds. Guardian 3 lives 590-1160 seconds. Guardian 3 average = (590 + 1160)/2 = 875 seconds
Scenario 2:
4000 x 1.5 = 6000 health.
6000/6.77 = 886.86 seconds before death
6000/3.44 = 1744.19 seconds before death
Scenario 3:
250 Damage every 10 seconds is the same as 250/10 = 25 DPS
Guardian 2
25 DPS + 5 DPS = 30 DPS 4000/30 = 133.33 seconds before death
Guardian 3
25 DPS + 6.77 DPS = 31.77 DPS 4000/31.77 = 125.9 seconds before death
Summary:
If an AoD and AoR guardian have equal health an AoR guardian will on average live 9% longer then an AoD guardian
If AoR regen is only 20% an AoD guardian will live 74% longer then an AoR guardian.
If AoR regen is 25% and AoR guardian will live 68% longer then an AoD guardian.
If AoR guardians health is 50% more then an AoD guardian an AoR guardian will live 10 % longer at 20% AoR regen and if it is 25% then an AoR guardian will live 218% longer then an AoD guardian.
Full Conclusion:
At equal health both AoR and AoD are with 10% of each other but as health scales with an AoR guardian due to naturally higher health an AoR guardian becomes significantly better.
Status Effects:
I haven't bothered with the effects of ignite and who will do better. Someone else can do that math.
