Sorryyyy

Dahmer, I know you are a BvB:er. =)

But you have to agree that defense is useless in other duels.

 

[Dahmer]

holy shield does more than adding defense

let's say your barb gets lvl15 holy shield
+235% def
+33% block
3 or 2 fpa block with storm (not sure how fast it'll be but holy shield sure boosts blockspeed)

dexreq @ lvl 99 for max block with storm = 222
dexreq @ lvl 99 for max block with storm & hs = 157
65 extra vit = 260 extra life before bo

blockspeed with normal storm = 5fpa
blockspeed with storm & hs = 3fpa or 2fpa
(pala without hs = 5fpa block, pala with hs = 2fpa block so not completely sure on breaks for barb :teeth: )

imo its useful for every duel except vs smiters, then i agree that amp would be very powerfull

killing 3 times as fast vs 50dr opponent > that

Dahmer: You're right, I forgot about that. =)

Anyway, I'd still take more dmg in form of amp or fana for any duel except BvB. Besides, only a few other classes have a blockable attack, and you dont need shield to beat any of them.

 

[Dahmer]

mhm, might wanna expain why more dmg is more useful vs bowama, sorc or any other caster?
dmg u do isnt the problem when duelling those, its hitting them, amp wont help that much imo & every bit of extra life is more useful imo

 

[ToThePoint]

If you cant regularly 1 hit kill a char then you need double the life taken to get the 1st hit to get 2 in.
Amp is as good as up to 3 times the life.

 

[morotsjos]

Exactly, you're usually not 1-hit killing chars, are you?
Even I, a mediocre barb-player with crappy connection, haven't met a caster which I couldn't at least score a few hits on. The problem is that eshield sorcs and bonenecs can take more than a few hits... =/
