Melee Defense and Armour



Asked: 2000.10.31

Question Title: Melee Defense and Armour
Category: Combat
Question: Is getting hit determined strictly by melee defense, or does armour level affect this as well?

Does armour function solely as a damage modifier?

Thanks,

Kuan-Yu

Answer: Yes, melee defense is the only thing that matters when determining the to-hit.

Armor affects the dmg received once hit.
