Chance to Block
Total Blocking = [(Blocking * (Dexterity - 15)) / (Character Level * 2)]
Blocking = A total of the Blocking on all of your items. (E.g: Guardian Angel, Twitchthroe, Any Shield, Holy Shield)
[] = Round Down
Note: Blocking on shield shown in game is capped at 75% while it may actually be higher. For a true account of most shields blocking ability... Look here forUnique, Set, and Magical/Rare shields. (for magical/rare, add the Blocking % from the suffix to the base blocking)
Note 2: Block chance is divided by 3 after the 75% cap. You can't block more than 25% when running.
Example 1: A lvl90 Druid with 200 Dex, 7% ctb amulet. and some shield i made up with 50% block(keep it simple).
Total Blocking = [(Blocking * (Dexterity - 15)) / (Character Level * 2)]
= (50 + 7 * (200 - 15)) / (90 * 2)
= (50 + 7 * (185)) / (90 * 2)
= (50 + 7 * (185)) / 180
= (50 + 7 * (185)) / 180
= (57 * 185) / 180
= 10545 / 180
= 58.5
= 58% Chance to Block
Example 2: A lvl90 Druid with 220 Dex, and some shield i made up with 50% block(keep it same).
Total Blocking = [(Blocking * (Dexterity - 15)) / (Character Level * 2)]
= (50 * (220 - 15)) / (90 * 2)
= (50 * (205)) / (90 * 2)
= (50 * (205)) / 180
= (50 * (205)) / 180
= (50 * 205) / 180
= 10250 / 180
= 56.9
= 56% Chance to Block
Example 3: A lvl90 Druid with 230 Dex, and some shield i made up with 50% block(keep it same).
Total Blocking = [(Blocking * (Dexterity - 15)) / (Character Level * 2)]
= (50 * (230 - 15)) / (90 * 2)
= (50 * (215)) / (90 * 2)
= (50 * (215)) / 180
= (50 * (215)) / 180
= (50 * 215) / 180
= 10750 / 180
= 59.7
= 59% Chance to Block
30 dex wud match the blocking potential at lvl 90.
Anyone care to try these?
