Something Doesn't Add Up...

I have 100k defense, monsters have a 5% chance to hit me. I walk up to a few enemies and start swinging, enemies are hitting me 100% of the time with melee attacks and kill me in a few hits. Enemies have no special aura, enemies didn't use any elemental attacks. Explain please.

Do they maybe have ignore target defense? Which enemies are you fighting? Be more specific.

About 70% of all the enemies in the game. And which enemies would have ITD?

Only explanation would be if you are running, but you claim you are walking. Another thing is ITD enemies or your chance to get hit is higher. Take a ss and post it.

It's not higher, it's at 5%. List the enemies with ITD.

the chance to get hit in the LCS isn't always accurate iirc? it is affected by the level difference between you and the monster i think

100k is kinda low, depends on what difficulty you are in. some monsters have considerably higher AR% than others.

btw, spells always hit (except if you have avoid). only wdm skill melee/projectile weapons can miss. that might be your problem.

If it were spells that were hitting me, that would make sense. But these are normal melee attacks hitting me, and they are hitting me A LOT more than 5% of the time. Right now I am running around in Terror in Act 5 on the foothills farming for Sacred grade stuff, and I just randomly get mobbed by physical enemies and die. The chart says 5% chance to be hit by every enemy that spawns out there, but I get flattened in seconds from melee attacks that never miss. Is the walk function broken or what?

You said youre "running" around. Running drops your defenses. Try walking. Unless you meant that as a figure of speech i dunno. Also like Quirinus said , dont completely trust the Character Screen from %chances. Its known as Lying Character Screen (LCS) for a reason.

Read my post again.

OK, so if it lies, how do I go about getting a proper estimate of my gear output? And how much defense should I be at to run Act 5 Terror?
