1 Base defense of all classes is Dexterity/4, rounded down to the nearest point. [1]


Per level-up

Attribute Amazon Assassin Barbarian Druid Necromancer Paladin Sorceress
  • Stamina

  • Life 2
+2 +2 +2 +1.5 +1.5 +2 +1
  • Mana 2
+1.5 +1.5 +1 +2 +2 +1.5 +2

2 Displayed life and mana are rounded down to the nearest point, but actual life and mana are rounded down to the nearest bit (1/256 point).


Each time they gain a level-up characters receive 5 attribute points, to be distributed between Strength, Dexterity, Vitality and Energy, as the player sees fit. An additional 5 points can be obtained once per difficulty level as a reward for completing the Lam Esen's Tome quest.

Chance to Block

Block rate

The table below lists the minimum Faster Block Rate required by each class to reduce the number of frames in the blocking animation and thus increase its speed. Some breakpoints differ depending on the weapon equipped, the player's form or the skill used. Note that block rate breakpoints >140 (>155 for Paladin) are beyond reach in the unmodified game.

  • When other classes transform into a Werewolf or Werebear, breakpoints are the same as those of a Druid in the same form. [4]
  • Necromancer transforms into a Vampire when he equips the complete Trang-Oul's Avatar set. The Vampire has no blocking animation, so when blocking its hit recovery animation is used instead and thus Faster Hit Recovery, not FBR, reduces animation length. [5]



Cast rate

The table below lists the minimum Faster Cast Rate required by each class to reduce the number of frames in the casting animation and thus increase its speed. Some breakpoints differ depending on the player's form or the skill used.

Hit recovery

The table below lists the minimum Faster Hit Recovery required by each class to reduce the number of frames in the hit recovery animation and thus increase its speed. Some breakpoints differ depending on the player's form or the weapon equipped. Note that hit recovery breakpoints > 594 are beyond reach in the unmodified game.
