Solved Stormshield Monarch chance to block?

Hello everyone.
I think that when I played 10 years ago when you hit the needed dexterity for max chance block it increases from 72% to 75% and is displayed in the game.
I used a calculator for max chance to block and it showed that a 91 level amazon with 72 chance to block needs to put 205 points in dexterity for max chance to block (75%).
When I did this in the game it still displayed 72%. I believe that before it changed to 75% in the shield window.
Now it is staying at 72% even when I experimented and pumped all points in dexterity.
Was this always like this or something strange is happening? I don't really remember. Thanks in advance to anyone who has some input and knowledge.

 

Hover your mouse over where it says "Defense" on the left in the stats panel. There it will show the "chance to block" and it should be 75%.

Cheers.

 

use this formula:
True block = [Block bonuses * (Dex - 15) / (2 * Char level)]
block bonuses include all the stuff from your gear +base shield block rate. in your case 47% monarch + 35suffix bonus from ss.
thisway youll need 205 dex for maxb. you can decrease this with "eld"-ing the ss to 188

 

Thanks guys!
But didn't it use to show 75% when maxed out before?
It is kind of annoying.

 

Hello.

When you hover your mouse over your item (In your case the unique Monarch *Stormshield*) it will show the shield's chance to block,not your characters.

To see your character's chance to block,you need to hover your mouse over "Defense" found in your attribute screen "c" key by default.

In this screenshot you'll see the stats from a level 1 character of mine,you can clearly see,the chance to block is also 72%,it will not change.

The only thing that changes the chance to block when it comes to Stormshield is the class that handles it.

The changes are like this :

• Paladin: 77%
• Amazon/Assassin/Barbarian: 72%
• Druid/Necromancer/Sorceress: 67%

Hope this actually helps.

 

Thank you so much! This gives full explanation to my question:
The changes are like this :

• Paladin: 77%
• Amazon/Assassin/Barbarian: 72%
• Druid/Necromancer/Sorceress: 67%

That is why when i view the Stormshield i see a 67% as a necro, 72% as amazon and 75% as paladin.
You guys are all great!
Question solved! <3
