Page 4 of 4 The Attack Table: When a mob or character physically attacks another mob or character, WoW determines the result with a single roll. It adds all possible values together, using the following attack table: Miss Dodge Parry Block Critical Hit Crushing Blow (mobs only) Regular Hit There are formulas that determine the a character or mob's chance to Miss, Dodge, Parry, Block, Critical Hit and Crushing Blow in %. Those are placed below each other on a line from 0 to 100%. If the total of those values is less than 100%, the remainer is filled up with Regular Hit. If the total of those values is more than 100%, everything beyond 100% falls off the bottom (first Crushing Blow, then Critical Hit, then Block, etc...). Example 1: There is a 10% chance a mob will Miss a character, 15% the character will Dodge his attack, 20% the character will Parry his attack, 15% the character wil Block his attack, 5% he will Critically Hit the character and 15% he will place a Crushing Blow on the character. Those values count up to 80%, so the remaining 20% becomes a Regular Hit. One check is made. A result of 0-10% becomes a Miss. 10-25% becomes a Dodge. 25-45% becomes a Parry. 45-60% becomes a Block. 60-65% becomes a Critical Hit. 65-80% becomes a Crushing Blow. 80-100% becomes a Regular Hit. Example 2: The character mentioned in Example 1 is a Paladin. He casts Holy Shield, which raises his chance to Block an attack by 30% (for a total Block chance of 45%). The values now count up to 110%, so 10% from the lowest value (10% Crushing Blow) falls off. A result of 45-90% becomes a Block. 90-95% becomes a Critical Hit. 95-100% becomes a Crushing Blow. There is no space for Regular Hits. Example 3: The character mentioned in Example 1 is a Warrior. He casts Shield Block, which raises his chance to Block an attack by 75% (for a total Block chance of 90%). The values now count up to 155%, so 55% from the lowest values (all 15% Crushing Blow, all 5% Critical Hit, 35% Block) falls off. A result of 45-100% becomes a Block. There is no space for Critical Hits, Crushing Blows or Regular Hits. |
