Player character equipping a [[shield]], an [[auric shield]] or a [[shrunken head]] normally has a Chance to Block a successful enemy attack, which applies after a successful hit check but before an [[Amazon]] [[dodge]]s, [[avoid]]s or [[evade]]s. This prevents damage and other [[:Category:Modifiers|modifiers]] being applied, although it does not prevent [[missile]] piercing due to [[Pierce]] and [[Piercing Attack]].

*[http://d2wissen.d2chars.de/calc/110/blockrate-x.html Kalkulatoren: Blockrate] (D2Wissen.de)
 +
*Ceiling of 75% Chance to Block applies when stationary (whether idle, attacking or casting), walking or using [[Whirlwind]]. Chance to Block is reduced to 1/3 while running, ''after'' this ceiling is applied (so maximum 25% Chance to Block while running). [https://www.mannm.org/d2library/faqtoids/block_eng.html#ibc]
 +
*Chance to Block displayed on the shield itself is the sum of its base value, a class [[Block#Base Chance to Block|bonus]] and Increased Chance of Blocking on the shield itself (including Holy Shield when active). Although 75% ceiling is applied to its ''displayed'' Chance to Block, any excess and Increased Chance of Blocking from other items is still taken into account when calculating ''actual'' Chance to Block displayed when cursor is over [[Defense]] field in character screen.
 +
*Minimum Dexterity required for maximum 75% Chance to Block is 15 + {150*clvl / (Shield + Bonus) }.
 +
 +
 +
==Base Chance to Block==
 +
Every [[shield]], [[auric shield]] and [[shrunken head]] has a base Chance to Block, to which a [[class]] bonus is added.

These bonuses have already been applied to all values below.
 
<br>
 
<br>
−
*{{Mb|=Increased Chance of Blocking}} (ICB) applies only when a [[Shield (item type)|shield]], an [[Auric shield (item type)|auric shield]] or a [[Shrunken head (item type)|shrunken head]] is equipped. ICB does '''not''' apply to claw-block: [[Weapon Block]].
 
−
*ICB adds to the class-dependent ''base'' Chance to Block of the shield equipped.
 
−
*ICB from equipment ''other than the shield'' is not added at the shield display, but it is used when calculating ''character'' Chance to Block, viz, the value displayed when pointing the cursor at 'Defense' in the character screen: consult the [[Class#Chance of Blocking|Class]] page for details.
 
 
<br>
 
<br>
−
*Chance to Block ''displayed on the shield'' is the sum of the shield's ''base'' Chance to Block, ICB ''on the shield'', and ICB from [[Holy Shield]] when it is active. The total is subject to a display cap of {{Mb|=75%}} (higher values are still used internally when calculating ''character'' Chance to Block).

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale

Two weapons Fires Magic Arrows Explosive Arrows Piercing Attack Attack Rating AR vs Demons AR vs Undead
% Attack Rating Defense Enhanced Defense Defense per hit % Defense Defense vs Melee Defense vs Missile
Target Defense Ignore Defense Block Chance to Cast On Attack On Striking When Struck

Player character equipping a shield, an auric shield or a shrunken head normally has a Chance to Block a successful enemy attack, which applies after a successful hit check but before an Amazon dodges, avoids or evades. This prevents damage and other modifiers being applied, although it does not prevent missile piercing due to Pierce and Piercing Attack.


Classic Chance to Block = min(Shield+Bonus , 75) %
Expansion Chance to Block = min( (Shield+Bonus) * (Dexterity-15) / (clvl*2) , 75) %
0
Shield Base Chance to Block of shield, auric shield or shrunken head
Bonus Increased Chance of Blocking from items and Holy Shield
Dexterity Dexterity (including bonuses)
clvl Character level


  • Kalkulatoren: Blockrate (D2Wissen.de)
  • Ceiling of 75% Chance to Block applies when stationary (whether idle, attacking or casting), walking or using Whirlwind. Chance to Block is reduced to 1/3 while running, after this ceiling is applied (so maximum 25% Chance to Block while running). [5]
  • Chance to Block displayed on the shield itself is the sum of its base value, a class bonus and Increased Chance of Blocking on the shield itself (including Holy Shield when active). Although 75% ceiling is applied to its displayed Chance to Block, any excess and Increased Chance of Blocking from other items is still taken into account when calculating actual Chance to Block displayed when cursor is over Defense field in character screen.
  • Minimum Dexterity required for maximum 75% Chance to Block is 15 + {150*clvl / (Shield + Bonus) }.


Base Chance to Block

Every shield, auric shield and shrunken head has a base Chance to Block, to which a class bonus is added.

Mercenary

No mercenary has a Chance to Block: Iron Wolf can equip a shield but its Chance to Block does not apply and thus he cannot block.

Pet

Pets have no Chance to Block, with the exception of a Necroskeleton with shield.

  • Necroskeleton only has 3% Chance to Block with shield, otherwise it cannot block. Arrows will still be lodged in shield arm even without shield, so this is not an indication one is present. [6]
  • Iron Golem summoned from a shield does not apply its Chance to Block and thus it cannot block.


Monster

Monster cannot block unless positive values are entered in ToBlock fields of MonStats.txt and either of the following conditions are met:

  • Block animation is defined in AnimData.d2 and enabled in MonStats2.txt.
  • NoShldBlock field is flagged in MonStats.txt. [7]


Following only have Chance to Block with a shield. Those with no value for Normal only spawn in Act 5 in Nightmare and Hell, those with no value for Normal and Nightmare only spawn in Pandemonium Event.
