Forgot about angelics im doing a playthrough and in nightmare jist seems like not killing fast enough with the amount of dex i have

Farm nm meph for butchers melee is slow killing compared to casting. Once you get grief it will be easier. It also depends what char you are. Ar is huge anywhere you can get some is nice like angelics ring/ ammy.

Raven Frost helps a lot with that, as well as having the all-important CBF. IMO most of the time in PvM it's not worth giving up the amulet and one ring slot for angelics, barbs and zons get extra AR from masteries/Penetrate, and charms can go a long way.

However, guessing you probably don't have Highlord's or a decent melee ring at this stage, so Angelic's could be a good stop gap.

you could hire a2 merc with blessed aim (norm, offense) which helps a lot until you find angelic set

Usually enough to wear weapons or to get maxblock, depending on class and gear ofc.

Being higher lvl than the mobs increaes your cth alot as well.

Hmm maybe that was the problem cuz i was going into nightmare at lvl 30

The one that is having the hardest time is the dudu werewolf fury druid the zealer is fine and my baba is ok as well

dex for mb = 15+150*charlvl/(base block)


chance to hit = ar/(ar+def) * 2*Attackerlvl/(Attackerlvl+Ddefenderlvl)
blue part you can ignore if you and your target have about the same level, so it's just ar/(ar+def)

http://classic.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/
here you can find monster defense and lvl

1dex gives 5 ar that can get increased by your skills and items, if you have +200%ar on your attack for example then 1dex is 15ar.
