How do I add up my avoidance?
On your character sheet with the page for defensive values:
You have a 5% base chance to be missed
540 defense gives another 5.6% chance to be missed (more with higher defense)
Parry (whatever value you have)
Dodge (whatever value you have)
Block (whatever value you have)
Add all of these up, then add 30% for holy shield being up all of the time.
This is your total avoidance. 102.4% is not strictly necessary anymore, but it is still a darn good number to shoot for. If you have 540 (or more) defense and 102.4% avoidance with holy shield up, then you can just start stacking stam and strength like a mad fiend.
For example, if your defense is exactly 540 and you have:
Parry 15.5%
Dodge 17.2%
Block 16.1%
That would give you:
5% base chance to be missed
5.6% chance to be missed from defense
15.5% Parry
17.2% Dodge
16.1% Block
30% Block from Holy Shield
Total = 89.4% (still well below the "ideal" 102.4%)
if that is your number, you want to add block RATING, Dodge, Defense, and Parry until you get to 102.4. Sacrificing a little stam to get to 102.4 is fine... taking less damage gives you more effective health.
