how does coverage percent work? is 100 percent much better than 95 percent? is it worth wearing plate armour instead of chitin armour?

Higher coverage just means it has a higher chance to actually be used to block some damage for example 90 coverage means theres a 10% chance it will be ignored when you take damage. While 100 means it wont ever be ignored.
