===Maximum Defense=== | |||
There's no point in calculating the maximum defense possible, since above a certain level it becomes meaningless, once you've reached the minimum to/hit value for monsters. Instead here are minimum defense values a character needs to lower the monster to/hit to the minimum, automatic level. | |||

===Maximum Blocking/Dexterity=== | |||
The following dexterity values are required to block as many hits as possible. (The amount that will actually be blocked depends on what your character is doing, their blocking speed recovery, and the monster you are facing.) | |||

===Maximum To/Hit=== | |||
These to/hit values are what a character is required to meet or exceed in order to land as many hits as possible on the highest defense monsters in the game (Blood Knights). Lower values will suffice for less well-armored enemies. | |||
* Only 95% of hits can land, regardless of a character's to/hit and a monster's defense. (This value is coded into the combat hitting calculations just to work in some randomization.) | |||

How fast your character swings their weapon (or fires arrows or casts spells) is an enormously important factor in their overall success. <u>The magic number is <font color="# | How fast your character swings their weapon (or fires arrows or casts spells) is an enormously important factor in their overall success. <u>The magic number is <font color="#66FFFF">0.35 seconds</font></u>; that's how fast an attack has to be to "stunlock" most monsters. If you can hit them that quickly, with enough damage to break their attack animation, any single target (or 3 targets, for Axe Barbarians, dual wielding Bards, and Staff-wielding Monks) will become helpless before your onslaught. Accuracy counts as well, of course. Swinging does no good if you don't hit, but it's pretty easy to see how the characters were designed by comparing their attack rates. | ||

All three characters added in Hellfire have the ability to hit three targets at once; the one they aim directly at and the monsters immediately to the left and right of the targeted space. This can only be done when properly-equipped -- Monk with staff, Barbarian with axe, Bard while dual-wielding -- and it makes these characters capable of dealing far more damage over time, especially against large groups of enemies. Tactics are required to take advantage of this ability; it's useless if you position yourself so that only one monster can come at you at a time. | All three characters added in Hellfire have the ability to hit three targets at once; the one they aim directly at and the monsters immediately to the left and right of the targeted space.

Another way to use this talent is to stand in single width doorways. These are commonly found in the Church, Cats, Caves, and Crypt. Rather than standing back a space, as a Rogue, Warrior, or Sorcerer would, stand right in the doorway. Monsters will swarm at you, but since there are walls to your sides, they can only come straight on, or diagonally from the left or right. This technique will enable you to clear rooms up to three times as fast as if you waited through the doorway to challenge the monsters one at a time. You must be powerful enough to hit and kill them quickly, of course, since you're potentially exposing yourself to triple the damage as well. | Another way to use this talent is to stand in single width doorways.
