The off chance it ends up with 508def

508 is not possible, and the +1 to maximum base defense bonus (which is due to Enhanced Defense) is lost in the process of upgrading.

Herald of Zakarum Zakarum Shield with +200% Enhanced Defense has at least 507 [169·(100+200)/100] and at most 579 [193·(100+200)/100] defense.
Each of the 25 possible values of 169-193 base defense has a 1:25 = 4% chance of being selected.

In other words there is a 4% chance to roll the same defense (507), a 96% chance to roll higher, and likewise a 4% chance of getting the maximum (579).

Thanks for the formula I haven’t seen that before. I just upped it and according to this the base ended up at 184, not great but I’m happy with it.

Quorra, I love your analysis. I’ve seen you post in a few threads, and this is the homework we sometimes need/want to see!
