How get best defence total
I mean from whitch eq
And use int or Vita

Adding dex defence or only dmg

Dex is only offensive. Vitality adds physical defense and intelligence adds magical defense. I'm not sure how accurate this is but I've heard enemies are roughly 60 percent melee so if you're going max defense in the most efficient way possible it would be high EE plates and high vitality. Scales have the blend of physical and magical though so they may be better on things like mirror maze. I'll let some of the top dogs chime in on that.

How Stats the Base in start stat increasing
The start Base Attribute and the Like ee increase the def?

I could give you the formula but the chance of you understanding it is minimal.

#1 The BASE item Defense value and Tier ... this link will tell you the Defense of each armor by Tier: https://ladderslasher.d2jsp.org/index.php?g=10

#2 After you have found the type of armor you want the information for, then you will have to get on your character and and test it out with BASE Intelligence and Vitality.

#3 Now, with every point you add into Vitality or Intelligence and your character wearing that armor, you can check your character screen (or item on your character) for the Total Defense you gain.

Simple... test it out for yourself, also make sure you start at level 1 and add in points wearing the BASE white armor you are testing... oh, as for Enhanced Effect... it increases the BASE defense of the item... and the stats increase that... I THINK, but that is why you want answers.

Good luck and have fun testing away.

K thx

Best defense = Good offense
Str/dex gives offense
Waste points in vit
Casting use int

How op is int btw that it makes dmg and heal charms stronger, gives mana, increases crit chance and magical defense, made huge error not going caster. Btw does warlock equate to a melee class that has 150 combined starting str and dex since int is 1/1 ratio whereas melee weapons 1 str and 1 dex is needed for 1

So, melee has a hidden double bonus every 4 times it increases damage.

So let's suggest you went from 105 to 110 int with a charm compared to 105 to 110 str with a club, which increased in damage more?

The club does as it received 6-7 damage boosts from 5 stats.
The charm only received 5.

So yes 1 str and dex is needed for weapons to match charms, but clubs as an example can go pure strength seeing dex does nearly nothing for clubs.


Also, how useful is having a load of magic defense anyway?


Yes warlock is by far the most obscene class in the game, but it isn't quite as overkill as you make it
