New here and I have a question about block chance.

[Jordoo]

I get you. So if I wore the cap, leather and used two off the weapons I could effectively negate the bad effects other than the -50crit and the +AP. I guess you would have to build your character toward this and dual wield daggers while putting a lot of skill points to advance your crit. With my build dual wielding 1HLS at this point L'd be getting a big boost in defense and hit chance but one less attack per and no crit at all.

check out this thread on the blackwater set...viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4257

I can see where the Blackwater set would really help you out with block% and even attack percentage is basically a wash if you dual wield the killer is that AP per round you lose. Still I used the complete set for a bit today on a level 34 player and i got hit so much less that its tempting.

I dont fully understand the concept of BC does that mean if my BC is higher than a monsters A.C. it can't attack me at All?

It always has a chance to hit you, and you always have a chance to hit it. See the second post in this thread, or the thread nyktos pointed you to.

As it has been pointed out a few times among the way, it is unfortunate that AC and BC are expressed as percents. They should probably be called something like Attack Points and Defense Points.

the percentage symbols have been removed for the next update.

Not everywhere. I have seen inconsistencies. Skill descriptions still read "percentage points". "items" tab, the stats located to the far right still show '%'. The "overview" tab still shows Effective critical chance as a '%'.

Critical chance works differently, I think, but I don't know if that is properly states as percent, either.
