If you plan on blocking (which you should) you'll want at least a point or so into Holy Shield. If you want more defense, then you're going to have to put more points into it.

As it is...I don't think your defense can be saved. ._.;; But then again...Hdins aren't known to have a HUGE amount of defense either. A good idea is to have a point into Defiance and when melee builds come near, switch it on to give yourself an extra bit of protection.

^^not sure if he's into pvping(i've noticed you forget people actually pvm these days=]), but i personally always max holy shield.

[Tha Gangsta]

well my straight up G din has max block with 1 pt into hs.

he is meant for PvM.

so do i need more defense?

[Omnicide]

Not normally, no.

Some are known to get high defense for the reasons I mentioned, but that's all I can tell.

@Habit...At 197 defense he'd prove easy to hit even for monsters.

[Habit88]

i know i was just kinda chuckling, with that defense in hell it's wait gangsta what are you wearing? 197 seems REALLY low.

[2.0]

I have like 9k defense. O_o (3 hard points in Holy shield I think)

My Hammerdin ain't all that great anymore either.

i was wondering how he got 11k hammers and only 197 def. thats.... low! im sure a much lower char can get twice the def without breaking a sweat. dont really know how you got so low def. 1 armor should be almost twice that def after HF. or even more.

[Omnicide]

He doesn't have HS on...but still...the defense IS low considering how much damage his hammers do.

Something doesn't look right there, LOL.

You have that kind of damage you basically need to wear specific gear (items with skills) which by looking at your gear, it looks off.

[Phoenix13]

I think the character next to him has a higher concentrate, maybe that is why he has so high damage?

[Omnicide]

That would explain it...but can conc really increase his damage THAT much? O_o;

Show pics of your gear. Cause i doubt you have that much dmg with what you have on.

[Tha Gangsta]

srry guys...i forgot to mention that character was classic xD

ive played xpansion wayy to much and im gonna take a break and play classic for awhile.

my gear is: armor- tri resists, belt- dual resists, helm- tarnhelm, wep- shard, ammy- +2 pally, sheild- +2 pally, boots- high light/fire res, rings- fcr and resist rings


and...no the character next to me is a barb...if u look at the top of the screen it doesnt say expansion...meaning this is classic.

Show pics of your gear. Cause i doubt you have that much dmg with what you have on.

That's what I was thinking, after I realised it was classic.


*fiddles with skill calc*


Okay, I call shenanigans.


With your stated gear, max damage is

Magic damage (Concentration Aura on): 5699 - 5781 (ø5740)

----------

With +1 armour and 2 SoJ's, damage is

Magic damage (Concentration Aura on): 7000 - 7089 (ø7044.5)



This is inclusive of BC from the barb. 11k damage is not possible on classic.









@ mods - compare his IP to murari. I have my suspicions.

[Tha Gangsta]

my + skill gear: +2 all pally skills sheild

+2 all pally skills amulet

+1 all skills helm (tarnhelm)
