Armor and DR - not sure I get it

[The Josip]

Does DR number on armor means general, global DR against all kinds of damage types? And then specifically named damage types are exceptions?

 

For example, if Armor says: "DR: 10 (Slash 14, Crush 6)" .. is the number "10" just average of these two and only these two, or does that armor provide 10 DR vs all damage types, but a bit more for Slash and a bit less for Crush? I suppose that's the case because Robe gives "DR: 3" without saying anything further, but just to be sure.

It means DR is 10 unless otherwise noted. In this case DR is 10 for pierce and elements, but 14 slash and 6 crush
