how is hitting calculated?

@Tommi:

I'm pretty sure your section on item defense is inaccurate, unless the defense values listed on items in the game are wrong.

Thanks, adeyke. I should have checked the correctness of all the formulas myself. I updated the page to reflect this info. It makes sense to calculate item defenses this way, although it differs from the way how AR and DR is calculated. It is similar to how weapon damage is calculated: first add percentage bonuses to base damage and then direct bonuses.

There is just one question which bugs my mind. What if there are both ED from superior quality and ED from magical properties (e.g. runes/rune word), do they add together +2 to the base item defense or just +1?

Cheers,

Tommi
