This stored hurt is then increased by 10 percent per second and, after a few seconds, an area-of-effect attack is triggered as the pocketed damage explodes on the target, totally obliterating their health. It doesn’t affect their health (yet), as it’s more like they’re simply holding that pain for you.

To break it down even further: With The Barber equipped, the damage you do to an enemy from a critical strike is absorbed. This item scales with critical hits, and because some of the Barbs’ skills, such as Combat Lunging Strike, deal critical hit damage, the combo is hella deadly.

The second part is The Barber, a socketable gem you can only pick up during the Season of the Malignant content drop that’s currently underway. The legendary aspect, an offensive enhancement that lets Barbs deal additional bleeding damage when the berserk status effect is active, is part of Rob2628’s ridiculous combo here. See, in patch 1.1.1 (which dropped on August 8), Blizzard fixed an issue in Diablo IV that prevented the item trait Aspect of Berserk Ripping from causing bleed damage when berserking. If a hireling is equipped with any Ignore Target's Defense item (such as desert mercenary with The Reaper's Toll), it has no effect either.There’s a lot happening on the screen, but essentially, Rob2628 absolutely murked Uber Lilith. Ignores Target's Defense does not work in player versus player, and does not work against Act Bosses either for that matter. This means that if you still want to hit enemy with 95% chance, your level can be roughly 10% lower than the enemy level. If we Ignore Target's Defense, it will simply change to:Ģ00 * AttackerLevel / (AttackerLevel + EnemyLevel) The chance to hit is calculated by following formula:ġ00 * AttackRating / (AttackRating + EnemyDefenseRating) * 2 * AttackerLevel / (AttackerLevel + EnemyLevel) The greatest to hit percentage possible in Diablo II is 95%. It means that the target's defense is set to zero, so while your odds of hitting are greatly increased, your Character Level is also factored against the target's level, and the actual to hit percentage will depend on how that formula plays out. The name might be somewhat misleading, in that it actually does not mean that you will always hit the target. Ignores Target's Defense modifier is found on various Unique Items and can also be added to a weapon by Socketing the Jah rune.
