I realize what true defense is supposed to do but for me it’s not working. At 9 stacks of true defense thrawn can basic and hit a 95k crit many times. According to the description true defense is supp...
Ok, so there is something called diminishing returns. Basically the more you stack of something, the lesser you get. Let's take, for example, the defense stat.
Let's say you have 0 armor. The damage reduction is 0. Obviously.
Now you add 50% defense. You would expect to receive 50% less damage but that's not how it actually happens. The formula works something like
Damage received = (Initial damage)/(1+defense)
In this case, let's assume the base damage is 100. The defense will be 0.5 (50%).
Damage received = 100/1.5 = 66.6%
Now let's look at the same with 90% defense but keep the initial damage the same.
Damage received = 100/1.9 = 52.6
As you can see, the more defense you stack, the lesser damage reduction you gain. Doesn't mean that more true defense is bad...just that more stacks don't necessarily reduce the damage equally.
This is just my guess how it works.
It’s not +10% defense though, it’s 10% less damage, which isn’t calculated like defense is.
Ah, that would make sense more. Should've read more carefully, my bad.
