Question about Defense Calculations

[Nicodemus Phaulkon]

Apologies for that, Tommi... I was doing the testing in a hurry, and didn't allow for the game's readjustment period after the loss of the skill adders. :blink:

Here's the skinny:

Defense numbers:
Helm -- 217
Armor -- 819
Gloves -- 83
Boots -- 158
Belt -- 75
Subtotal: 1352

Herald of Zakarum -- 488
Subtotal: 1840

Paladin Dexterity: 205
LCS Total Defense: 1891 (no aura)

LCS Total Defense (slvl 7 Defiance 130%): 4349

Storm Shield -- 516 defense (+371 from clvl affix) * borrows a compatriot's SS because of the higher def*

LCS Total Defense with SS: 1919 (no aura)

LCS Total Defense (slvl 7 Defiance 130% *snagged two charms from compatriot to compensate for lost HoZ skill adders*): 4416

Total difference without auras: 28 more defense with Storm Shield
Total difference with slvl 7 130% Defiance: 67 more defense with Stormshield

Which adds up to a 139% gain... *scratches head* :huh:

Anyway... hope that helps.
