Yo

i m curious about the formula which is used on Uthgard to set the % chance to block in pvp.

some say cap is 75% chance to block in pvp, others say it is 60%

1) what is the exact cap for pvp?

concerning the % to block caulculation, i got some problems too. looking at what i could grab on the net it seems like the last formula for this is :

base chance to block (5%) + (((dext*2) - 100) /40) + (shieldspec /2)

which means, with a buffed lvl 50 SCed celt hero rrk 4 (308 dext and 50+14 shield spec) :

5 + (308*2) - 100) /40) + (64/2) = 5 + (616-100)/40 + 32

= 5 + 12.9 + 32

= 49.9% chance to block

considering the fact Master Of Blocking 3 adds 10% chance to block, if the % chance to block in pvp is 60% on uth, this toon with mob 3 is 59.9% chance to block


2) is the formula base chance to block (5%) + (((dext*2) - 100) /40) + (shieldspec /2) is the one used on Uthgard? or is another formula is used instead? i really need to know



CONCERNING DASHING DEFENSE

i would like to know if somebody experienced it.

3) is it like a GROUP GUARD for the time of RA duration? Or can you only block/parry ONCE only for all your groupmates within the RA duration?

thx helping, i need only 100% SURE answers mates, please focus on the thread.

best regards!!!

i don't know the exact formulars, but experinece showed me that dashing defense is a real nice RA (a must have for guardtanks) at least 1, 2 is even better, and as norsemen with red dex/qui buff (around 300 dex) you are still not at block cap with mob 4 when more than one opponent attacks your guarded target.

In duels (just blocking 1 opponent) i was at block cap with mob 3, at least mob 4 did not make a difference, it seemed.

Defence rate on uthgard is lol, against any decent tank u will get blocked/parried/evaded 60%+ of ur attacks even if u are a dw user, if u arnt its more like 80%+.

holsen could you develop a litle bit about Dashing defense experience? answer the question please if you can

Jonah, thx but you don t bring any precise element to answer the questions.

well, dd works like you block and parry for everyone in your grp as if the opponent attacks you in 1000 range. The "regardless of how many bla bla" only concerns 2 warris having dd up at the same time in grp, which should seldome be the case.

and to give some hint as to how to ra skill a def tank (to minimise the tells i get every day):

- you need deter 5!!!111 (i have been told this wise advice - and most of the time with a lot more "!!!111" - often as as we entered agramon with RR1 as we started here)
- LW 1 and then some mob and dd1 and dd2
- as soon as you can afford get soldiers barricade 3 ( but not before 3)
- get purge 2 as next
- mob 4

you need RR11L5 for this.

skill mob and aug dex in between the bigger RR's and always LW1.

Passive defense skills ruin this game.

back trolling huh? thought you stopped ;>

holsen thx for some details on DD, but guys. you dont answer to the questions.

i repeat in any case : what is the official formula used on Uthgard to calculate the % chance to block and what is the cap? is it 60% in pvp? 75%? is the formula i gave works on Uthgard or did the staff decided to use a customized one?

No one knows.

this is atm, the best answer i had. thx.

Heho,

Uthgard have a custom formula. The Staff developed it on live, thats the reason why it is not public. How ever it looks like they developed a fomula that doesn't include the weapons skill of the attacker, so maybe it would be better if it were public.

any chance we ask and get an answer? a lot of people could spare tons or realm points if they realize for exemple mob4 is useless for them.

who is the best person to ask about?

thx

From what I gather, there seems to be a notable difference between MoBlock III and IV in RvR - and I am sure that is all you will ever hear about this matter. If you want to be a good guarder, get MoBlock IV. Blue will not tell you what formula is used and everything else has been said, I think.

I'm pretty sure the cap here is at 75%. It can't be as low as 60%.
