Question for all you experienced tarts :)

[Guiness]

Hi all

In diablo2 u could see what total damage a weapon would do when put with certian magic spells etc - just wondered what the calculations were for AC. I.e - my sword says something like 10 fire damage - does that get multiplied depending on my strength?

Ive looked for stuff on the websites about how the combat actually works but cant find any detailed stuff - any pointers would be great.

Cheers

Not sure what the formula is but yopu get a point extra per 10 of strength at a certain point, also adding spells makes a huge difference, there are also modifiers to attack and defence on many weapons

if you check the message boards on http://www.acvault.com and put a post on the warrior stop maessage board you'll get the science of it all ;)

Important Spells for Mellee Characters:

Item Magic Spells:

Blood Drinker -> adds damage to the weapon its cast on think it goes something like 4,8,12,16,20,24 for level 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 (may be a bit out but who cares)

Heart Seeker -> modifies the attack modified - basically works like adding to your skill for that weapon, increases your chances of hits & crits.

Swift-killer -> makes the weapon faster

Defender -> basically increases your mellee Defence


Lifestone recall -> recalls you to your lifestone (doh!) valuable for getting about quickly and getting out of tricky sitautions quickly

Portal Recall -> zap's you to the last portal you exited (or the one you have tied - see next)

Portal Tie -> allows you to bond to a particular portal (some debate as to wether to learn or not, but personally i would). This combined with LS recall allows you to quickly go from dungeaon to sell and back again.

Also lots of spells to improve armour attributes.....
