First your gonna need to know which character it is for first, SS gives different block percentages for each class type.

Enigma

Max block is base on clvl, not difficulty. Usually need 2-3 points in dex for a lvl to maintain max block. It seems like alot but it pays off big time you know. 75% chance to block is kind of like adding 75% life. You can use a formula for this, or you can check how much blocking you have by highlighting def with mouse in character screen.

I just figured out why your asking question. The calculator is in a sticky. Thats what the mod said in another post.

Refer to that post. If you can't do algebra yet, post again, and I'll do it for you at the desired clvl.

Btw, do NOT put eld in your SS. If you need more life, eld will save you 21 points in dex at level 99. However, a -reqs SS will save you 23 points in strength. Not to mention that it can give you prefixes like 15% res all, or dmg -> mana.

Explain how -15 req to str save you 23 str.

If you use enigma that needs 80 str you get about 155 str at lvl 99. This is one short of ss. If your 23 save in str is true, then elding ss will save you 23 str + 21 dex = 44. You would have 44 more vita - 1 str for SS at lvl 99.

Or you could just have a lower Base STR with the -15% Jewel (Breast plate anyone?) and put those 23 points into Vita.

Fuxor, go away. You have done nothing but mislead people, and you have no idea what you are talking about. GET OUT.

alright...appreciate the help everyone, about to try out the calc now.... but i seriously messed up my druid because...well it was my first blockage character.....ever :( and well im still a bit rusty, for some reason i was thinking the "Chance to block" on the damn ss was my "Chance to block %" and whoa....was I wrong.... I couldnt figure out why with 74% chance to block i was still getting hit 3/4 of the time turns out... i have like 25% blockage *ouch* and already a shitload into vit....*calculates to see if i can still pull off max blockage**

Alright...algebra is wayyy rusty.... here it goes... haha :(

Effective Blocking % = [Blocking on Gear x (Dexterity – 15)] / (Character Level x 2)

so... what % is non eld'd ss, I eld'd right away after reading a few guides that said to times (d-15) / 99


I feel dumb.


haha.

It does help to have the block % eh...but either way..

so err.... SSd-15/99 ... any help on the ss block % no eld?

[dont have an eld right now to look at.....or an ss as a matter of fact :-\]

Allow me.

@ clvl 99, and a non-eld'd storm shield with a druid with no other block adding gear besides SS, the math would look something like this:

Character Level = 99

Effective Blocking % = 75% (what you hope to have, max)

Blocking on Gear = 67% (from here)

Dex = The Unknown Variable we solve for

75 = [67 x (Dexterity – 15)] / (99 x 2)

75 = [67 x (Dexterity – 15)] / (198)

14850 = 67 x (Dexterity – 15)

14850 / 67 = D - 15

221.64 = D - 15

221.64 + 15 = D

Dexterity = 236 for max blocking, with a druid, at clvl 99.

Easy enough.
