When I Shift-Hover over an attack in the combat log the damage breakdown never mentions DR based on the type of attack. Shouldn't this reduce the damage before arriving at the final damage amount, a la PoE 1?

There is no DR as in PoE1. There is Penetration vs. Armor Rating.

 

If your your PEN = AR you do full damage.

 

If your PEN is one below AR you get a 25% dmg malus

 

If your PEN is two below AR you get a 50% malus

 

If your PEN is three below AR (or lower) your get a 75% malus.

 

if your PEN is double the AR you get a 30% dmg bonus.

So the numbers I see on an opponent are not DR numbers but the actual Armor value versus that sort of attack?
