Tiom replied to So what's the point of 4x parry bonus on Skoll and Hati? January 12, 2023 @ 3:46:38 pm PST

If you have around 50 block skill your Skoll and Hati will have 30 block armor. Since the parry bonus is 4x that means a parry will have 120 block armor to mitigate the attack.

Here are a couple example cases for what you can parry. Keep in mind i actually used a low value for the dmg these creatures can do.

2* Seeker:
(200)^2/(4*120) = 83.3
83.3 / .4 = 208 MAX HP required to pass stagger check and succesfully parry. realistically doable only with 3 health foods.

1* Seeker:
(160)^2/(4*120) = 53.3
53.3 / .4 = 133.3 MAX HP Required to pass stagger check. Doable with 2HP/1Stam food.


For anyone who is unclear the stagger check happens by the game using a formula for converting incoming damage to stagger before mitigation. If you don't have enough max health or block armor to pass the stagger check your block/parry does NOTHING and its up to your worn armor to save your ass at that point.

So for the example above. If someone with Skoll and hati was running around with the standard 200hp/120stam loadout when they try to parry the 2* seeker they are going to suddenly be staggered and take around 100 dmg (if wearing max carapace/padded).

Edit: Also keep in mind that your stagger bar drains over time so it is possible that you could succesfully parry 2 hits and then you do not have enough remining free stagger bar for the third parry, resulting in you being staggered and taking a hit.
