taking damage

[neversummer84]

when you take damage, does it hit your armor as a whole, or individual pieces?

[Anubit]

Individiual pieces...for example the hammer skill belly smash always hits the torso

[neversummer84]

for other skills and just general attacks, is it random which part they hit?

[Anubit]

There is a different chance for each part of the armor to get hit.The chestpiece is most likley to get hit.

[Avenger]

Arms 12.5%
Head 12.5%
Feet 12.5%
Legs 25.0%
Torso 37.5%

These are the specific percentages.

If you are being struck from ontop of a ledge.. Like by an archer, elementalist and so forth.. You will be strucked in the head.. But for everything else it follows these percentages.

[neversummer84]

what about if your weapon has +defense? what does that apply to?

[Avenger]

ok.. Mods that are in the armor already are unique too that armor piece, in the sense that it only effects that armor piece. But if you add a rune to it.. Like a superior rune of Absorbtion... That absorbtion is global in the sense that it is put into effect no matter where you get hit.

[neversummer84]

so i assume that if you have a weapon with +def that it is global. cuz its not like the weapon needs the protection

[Avenger]

Well yes technicaly.. If you have a weapon with def mods on it... It stacks them too the armor piece that's beign attacked at that spefic moment.. Same thing goes for shields.. So yes its global.
