Attack Chance vs biddies Block

Post by Timdogg1934 »

Ok, so I am grinding RoLS and have been for some time (710 stones) but I have been beefing up my attack chance in hopes of getting to a point where I can't be blocked/miss. So currently my AC is 187% and the trainers block is 90%. So by my math I should only miss 3% of the time. Now I can't say that I have been tracking it per swing, but I KNOW that I am missing WAY more then 3% of the time...

...am I thinking about this the wrong way???

I agree...game mechanics should be explained in detail. Does anyone know where the is at? I have been wondering about this myself as I miss waaaay more than I would think due to what all my stats are.

Is that the resulting percentage? Like if The difference is 50.0, then my chance is 50% of an actual successful hit, or .5% chance of a successful hit?

That is the percentage... So if you have a difference of 50, you have a 50.0% chance to hit.

Well, I am not sure why this is calculated this way, but at least it makes sense...missing about 20% of the time seems about right. If anyone has an explanation for this method of figuring hit % I would be interested in seeing it.

We use a non-linear function so it is almost impossible to hit 100% of the time.
