Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo / April 2005Chance to block question
Hey all. I have a level 36 fanat/zeal paladin in act 5... and I don't get this chance to block thing. His gothic shield says chance to block 46%, and holy shield is supposed to give +31% chance to block... well, when I hold the mouse over defense it says chance to block 8%. With holy shield it's 12%. How come? How is this calculated? It seems rediculously low, doesn't it? > His gothic shield says chance to block 46%, and holy shield is > supposed to give +31% chance to block... well, when I hold the mouse > over defense it says chance to block 8%.

The base chance is modified by clvl and dex. >The listed stats are BASE chance to block. The base chance is modified by >clvl and dex. Aha! Thanks! He has shitty dex... hehe Yikes, DEX of 26-27 at clvl 36? wow >Yikes, DEX of 26-27 at clvl 36? wow lol well, I found an Aldur's Rhytm with 3 sockets I wanted him to use at clvl42, and it required no dex. Luckily I had about 50-60 stat points saved up and unused. He now has 95 dex and chance to block 75% in nightmare act 2.

Total Blocking = [(Blocking * (Dexterity - 15)) / (Character Level * 2)] Larry Geyer <larrygeyer@comcast.net> had this idea for a movie: >Total Blocking = [(Blocking * (Dexterity - 15)) / (Character Level * 2)] And a few additional notes for this formula: 1. "Total Blocking" (i.e. the chance after dexterity and character level are factored in) is capped to 75% 2. "Blocking" is the blocking percentage listed on your shield, plus the bonus from holy shield, plus any other items that add to chance to block, such as Twitchthroe armour, crafted safety amulets, etc. This is not capped in any way.  SignatureIf in doubt, hit with axe. >Larry Geyer <larrygeyer@comcast.net> had this idea for a movie: > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >Twitchthroe armour, crafted safety amulets, etc. This is not capped in any >way. Ok, I'll take a swing: Isn't blocking capped at 75%?? (Keep in mind that I only play "classic") ... noneyabusiness <me@you.com> had this idea for a movie: >Ok, I'll take a swing: >Isn't blocking capped at 75%?? Like I said, yes. Above formula and my follow on are for the expansion game. In classic (the non-expansion game), chance to block is derived purely from your items/skills with "chance to block" (e.g. shield + holy shield skill + other boosters)... dexterity and level play no part. SignatureIf in doubt, hit with axe. Noneya? Are you playing ET? > >Larry Geyer <larrygeyer@comcast.net> had this idea for a movie: > > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > ... |
