Melee Caster

[Yally]

Hello. I was just checking out all my AA choices while medding when I started to ponder over the effects of the aa's that increase your chance to hit 'in melee combat'. I dont want to buy these at all, well, maybe 300 aa's later I will but....anyways:

Do all classes get these?

Would a 20% hit chance mean as a caster fighting any mob you could hit them 1/5th of the time?

I guess thats it actually, thanks for your time and answering the question.

All classes get those aas -- Wiz can't remove them from casters / replace them for casters, thanks to client limitations.

I don't think there is a set "chance" to hit mobs. I believe it's based on your atk value, versus their ac value.

 

[Ponden]

accuracy is not determined by ATK OR AC at all.

WTF?

Unless it has been changed for WR it most certainly is.

 

[sp4mm]

ATK vs AC = damage per hit.

Your accuracy is dependent on DEX i believe

 

[Cathis]

I believe its:

Your Atk value (Str + Your skill, including a relation to your DEX) vs Foes AC.

How the relationship your dex has to your atk i dont know, but in basic the higher your dex, the more chance of hitting, also of you getting a proc off a weapon.

DEX, skill and style determines hit chance here.

ATK determines damage dealt.

AC determines % of mitigation.

Formulas are different on WR.
