Well, I based this value of the average blocking values of both Deflective Armor and Burst Armor. I posted the excel sheet somewhere else already where you could see them, but here it is again: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ryau6vwcxr89rk...0data.xlsx
The (colored) values are given in %. As you can see, Burst Armor has an average blocking value of 34.1% and Deflective Armor one of 22.45%. Obviously, those values are somewhat different in a real game (read: lower), since Burst Armor loses a lot of its effectiveness when facing a lot of fast firing weapons and Deflective almost does nothing against skills with high damage.
I'm not saying that I don't want to change it, I just wanted to show you where this 20% originated from.
@gozo: Since I don't see any lost item abilities in the Mass Converter, I assume you are talking about the Negator Pack. I don't think that there is a problem. A short duration of invulnerability is not the same as healing, that is true. But ultimately, you can negate way more damage with it. I also feel that there already is quite a varied amount of healing items, which you could get instead, if you feel like you need one.
