Exile and Chance to Hit
Im having difficulties deciding on a shield for my PVP zealot - eth Alma Negra or Exile.
Ive read endless threads and the majority of them have supported the Alma, but Im still leaning towards Exile.
Exile is a defensive shield but personally I think the huge defense boost compensates for the slight difference in damage and AR from the Alma.
Some theory to help me make up my mind (please correct me if my calculations are wrong). Using the chance to hit formula, assuming both characters are level 90, and the attacker has 25K attack rating (I believe this is the optimum figure to aim for):
@ 25K defense, the attacker has 100% chance to hit.
@ 30K def, 90%
@ 35K def, 84%
@ 40K def, 76%
@ 45K def, 72%
@ 50K def, 66%.
There are diminishing returns, for example @ 35K def you will only see a decrease in chance to hit by 6%, whereas @ 30K def theres a 10% decrease.
But this is how I look at it:
Using an Alma Negra I have about 30K def and the attacker has a 90% chance to hit me.
Using an Exile, I have about 45K def and the attacker has a 72% chance to hit me. Essentially switching from Alma to Exile I reduce my attacker's chance to hit me by 18% (and 24% if I manage to reach 50K def). Almost 1/4 of their attacks will miss!
Again if my calculations are wrong please correct me,
Cheers.
