I have a 58 toon with 162 armoring on armor, 162 on off hand and 156 main hand and also have full 2018 exp, mods and enh are a mix of 148 and 162 depending on whether the bolsterizer added or took away stats swapping between the two. If i could find a 162 main hand i'd test that but i can't for the life of me find one. HP isn't high at single digits under 40k but I was going for tooltip damage.
Relics, implants and earpieces are lower though, no matter what i tried in those slots anything close to 162 was lowering damage.
