===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.) | |||

These figures are not meant to be used to calculate actual damage, though. They're presented to provide a rough comparison of damage between the characters, and to show their various strengths and weaknesses. Note the Sorcerer's utter uselessness with a bow, the Monk's deceptive power with a sword, the Barbarian's utter dominance with all melee weapons, etc. | These figures are not meant to be used to calculate actual damage, though.

===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.) | |||
