How Does Attack/Block Chance Really Work?

[Tulkas]

Sorry if this has been posted, but how does attack chance/block chance work, exactly? If my block chance is 120%, and their attack chance is 70%, how are they able to connect? Vice versa for the attack chance. If my attack chance is 330%, and their block chance is 230%, then my net attack chance is 100%, does that guarantee a hit every time? And if not, why not?

Thanks! I clearly see the target is to have 173.1 more AC than BC. Beyond that is a waste.

I guess I'm missing the formula behind this, what would the values be below the end of the chart?

the worst-case scenario... you suffer insect contagion x7 (AC -70%) and fight with enemy with BC 175% ...

I read the post and was like, wow that's a good point...... wait a minute did I read that right. And don't worry if your not that good at English. Every country that speaks English butchers it to heck and back anyway.

With Insect Contagion lowing your AC by -70% and the NPCs that already have a really high BC (175) those spiders can be quite the pain in the rear.

Sarumar: no worries my friend we understand what you were trying to say. =) The community is here to help! =)

Happy hunting heroes!
