Hit Lower Defense

**Ally** · 31st January 2007, 11:18 AM

The 30 HLD on the Mace and Shield glasses, do they stack with the HLD on your weapons? Or no?

Some people we asked said yes, some people said no. So I just want to see if anyone can confirm it.

yes it stacks.

What exactly does HLD do? thx!

HLD = Hit Lower Defense, so when it is in effect. Makes it easier for you to hit your target.

Here's a question on HLD, does it affect everyones ability to hit the monster, or just the person with HLD on their weapon???

I believe it lowers a targets defense to everyone, until it wears off.

Mercenary · 31st January 2007, 04:21 PM

Yup, lowers it for everyone. If you notice when you get attacked by someone who has HLD, it says on the bottom left "Your defense has been lowered!!" Then when the attack is over it'll say "Your defense returns to normal"

And yes, mace and shield does stack, however there might be a cap on HLD. Not sure, but I think there is one.. but either way, mace and shield glasses ROCK! If you have max hci and 120 weapon skill with them as well, you'll hit everything.

I think the cap is 50?

Mercenary · 31st January 2007, 04:33 PM

Yea, that would be my assumption as well. That is why I don't wear the mace and shield glasses anymore cause one of my weapons has 50 HLD already

If it didn't I'd be wearing the glasses! Best library item in the game, imo
