Great video, nice and detailed! In pvp especially-due to the cycle of strife debuff and the recent changes to it a few patches ago-block chance got nerfed to the absolute GROUND. I was regularly piloting the immortal in shadow wars and would max out my block chance to 43%. Cycle of strife debuff would reduce that to 30%, and when the most recent change to cycle of strife debuff went live, my 43% went down to 14.6% 😱. Absolutely horrible.
The 43% was always that way in BG though, the patch only started reflecting the true stats you had. Strife debuff has been live since launch and has always affected stats this way, it just wasn’t reflected on profile when you were in BG.
Yr Chanel convinced me back to play Dialblo without unstoppable again!! Dammm ,,, my sleeping time about 8 hr while the rest of my time whole day spent on Dialblo!!! 😢 Greatest Chanel explain how to play Dialblo, keep do it and then can u advice my BK stat pls , what should I build? Hahaha 🤣
Im sitting at 3350 ish armor and pretty much max block chance currently around 3350bg pts thats second higest in my servers with 3200 reso only. Also have noticed potency and resistance is as important than armor/ armor pen. If anyone wanna succes in bgs and Be tops focus fortitude/willpower and spend on gems not resonance. 2 stars and rank 7-8 gems will get you top 3 any class for sure. Cr also important btw
Great video! Just one question, if your armor is less then enemy armor pen, then they do more crit dmg lets say by 50%, and then in your screen you take another 50% more crit dmg. How does that work? Does it stack? Or does it count the higher number?
IMPORTANT: at 05:20 where A>AP, i said the total damage received is 160. Thats an error. The total crit damage will not fall below 200. So Crits will minimum do 100% more (unless its Crusader banner) So higher Armor will prevent additional damage from AP. It won’t reduce the crit value.
With all due respect sir I just want to correct your information. If you check 5:17 it says armor penetration increases your critical hit damage by 20% from a baseline of double damage. So in your example of normal damage of 100 the critical damage will be 200 but here in 5:36 you said if your armor is higher you can reduce the damage to 160 which is wrong. Armor can only negate the bonus of the armor penetration bonus but it will not go down below double damage. So basically critical damage can go from double damage to higher than double damage with bonus from armor penetration but it will never go below double damage. So with enough armor, critical hits from a normal damage of 100 will be 200 this is with no bonus from armor pen. I will give you a tip on how to reduce critical damage without armor. Use gears and legendary gems that reduce normal damage example of this is reduce damage from nearby enemies magical affix and the 2 star legendary gem battleguard. They will reduce the normal damage which is in your example is 100 so if you reduce the normal damage then if that crits example 100 reduce to 80 normal damage double it you will just do 160 crit damage instead of 200. Also combat rating helps a lot and reforges since some of them reduces your damage receive from the enemy. Hope it helps
You are absolutely right. While making this ppt this thing totally slipped out of my mind. I would have pinned your msg but its a bit long. So i will write an edit and pin it. Thnx for pointing it out. &yes. I also use respite stone to reduce damage in pvp. Have a r5 battleguard…but not able to fit that in my gem setup.
@3102nzain exactly crits are always twice the base value. That's why over 1 year ago I was talking in my videos that you cant benefit from armor pen against much stronger opponents
Na. Those work differently. Was thinking to make one on that topic next. 10 months ago i did make a potency vs resist video. But low audio & video quality. Time to update it.
I have a question, under description say Armor increase number of blocks, what does it mean? What is the difference with increase block chance? Im assuming if u have 0 block chance, even if you have 5k armor, you will not block any normal attack? Just reduce damage from normal and critical hits.
There is a base 6% block chance for all class. In armor it is talking about the Block amount. Default block amount (ie damage reduction) is 50%. armor can increase that.
So Im assuming to maximize your character is to focus based on your class if you are not a whale. Melee focus on all defensive gems, Armor,Resistance. Range focus on Potency for dot and cc builds. Of course AP is standard for everyone need it.
It depends what difficulty you’re playing on, for example i have 3.1karmor pen and i m only few hundreds higher than the recommended value for my difficulty
So from all the info that i have, Block chance is capped to 20% from gears & family bonus. However there is no cap for block chance overall. You can get more block from Paragon tree, legendary gems & also skills like crusader primary attack. So no cap overall. But a cap from gear sources is there. Also Block chance from Warband protector tree of 5% & base block chance of 6% is not strifed (ie not nerfed in pvp). Hope this helps
Block chance from WB paragon tree & base block of 6% is not strifed in PvP. while BC from gear sources is. So you can get diff outcome in pvp & PvE. Plus if you use survivor tree or exigent echo, you get more block. Hard to test out these %age stats. Also Do check the pinned comment.
@@siddgang thanks man, i got clanmates too that love your content, u provide good info with clear delivery, appreciate your work. Btw, just wanna share, in Ancient Cradle pvp event, cycle of strife for some reason takes into effect there, so if ever you are interested in testing strife stuff, that's a good way to do it.

Nice explanation. Great job. Now get them triple stats and bulk up. This video just proved my point about getting triple stat items. lol.
Haha dude. The previous video was a "hot take"
Damnnnn lol what server u in where u have alot of thr gems available lol in my server rat king everything is always always sold out
Excellent explanation. Well done!

Yesi was going to add the same comment. i can confirm this is how it works after spending hours in different rifts letting mobs hit me.
Does this broadly apply in the same way to resistance and potency? Would be great to have a breakdown of that. Thanks for sharing btw.

@@siddgang going to watch that for now - thank you :)
Can you explain how works the absorbing from the dmg in the attack?
You will see the word “block” whenever normal damage is reduced
For crit damage reduction nothing will pop up. It happens automatically
I have a question, under description say Armor increase number of blocks, what does it mean? What is the difference with increase block chance? Im assuming if u have 0 block chance, even if you have 5k armor, you will not block any normal attack? Just reduce damage from normal and critical hits.

I like play melee class cause i focus to armore and resistence
That is smart
so your at 1444 armor and thats 1103 higher , im at 1645 and it says im 645 lower . whats the deal with thaqt
I was at hell 3 when i recorded that. Last part of the video i show how it scales
It depends what difficulty you’re playing on, for example i have 3.1karmor pen and i m only few hundreds higher than the recommended value for my difficulty
Wooot
Does block chance capped at 30%?
So from all the info that i have, Block chance is capped to 20% from gears & family bonus.
However there is no cap for block chance overall. You can get more block from Paragon tree, legendary gems & also skills like crusader primary attack. So no cap overall. But a cap from gear sources is there.
Also Block chance from Warband protector tree of 5% & base block chance of 6% is not strifed (ie not nerfed in pvp). Hope this helps
Hmm so if ur block chance is low, its not good? But good against crits
If only high armor, then yes. Good against crits. Add Block chance...good against normal damage too.
Check my comment bro
@@siddgang did u test in mobs? Maybe it give different result in pvp, just a chance, what do u think? But i think ur assessment is correct
Block chance from WB paragon tree & base block of 6% is not strifed in PvP. while BC from gear sources is. So you can get diff outcome in pvp & PvE.
