Elric, thank you. Do you feel up to checking my manual calculation (if you call the Windows calculator "manual")?
Total dex is 208. If 1 dex = 4 AR, then this is 832. AR items add 346 AR, for a total of 1178. The percentage modifiers are Herald of Zakarum, 20%; level 25 zeal, 250%; and level 24 fanaticism, 155% -- for a total of 425%.
Thus total AR = 1178 + 1178 * 4.25 = 6184.5
In addition he has 300 AR against demons, so the AR against demons should be:
6184.5 + 300 + 4.25 * 300 = 7759.5
If I switch to using Bul-Kathos' Wedding Band, I should get 176.7 more AR from the boost to zeal and fanaticism, for a new total of 6361.2, or 7681.2 against demons.
(...a couple of hours later -- forum sotware said I did not have permission to post when I tried to send this. Grrr.)
Anyhow, I switched things around and got my AR up to (I calculate) 7071.75, or 8646.75 against demons. The character screen now says 7029. I don't need to go into the item detail here, but I'm mainly looking for confirmation that the formula I'm using is correct.
I gave Bul-Kathos' back to my poor bowazon. By the way, what is a reasonable AR for an amazon or an elf?
