Parry question (sorry they are noobish :| )

[sapphirediablo11]

just wonder how Exactly parry works, just Two questions

1. i know its 30% block with a sheild. and 17 with a weapon (if you have 0 boshy) but if i have a sheild and a sword does it make 47? or just 30...

2. Defense Chance Increase, anything to do with parry or no, if so can you explain a bit

Thanks for your time and Brains

You will find all the combat formulas at this link...

By the way, there is alot of useful information to be found at http://uo.stratics.com so you might want to check that out as well.

Regardless, here are the answers to your questions...

- Parry is a single check, so they don't stack.
- DCI is unrelated to Parry. DCI comes into play in the Chance to Hit formula. Your Parry chance is checked if they successfully hit you (i.e. you block successful hits).
