Effective hit points

Is there an equation to work out your effective hp ?

Thanks for any help.

No because armor is non-linear: the bigger the hit, the less armour count.

you are right ofc but to be 100% correct: the bigger the hit, the less physical damage reduction from armor (its kinda intuitive, like in real world :))

What about evasion base ?


Im sure i was reading something along the lines of effective hit pool with evasion.

with evasion you just die to physical spells....

the defense-system of PoE isn't as linear as D3's that you could calculate reliable eHP - and if you could it wouldn't matter

I was under the impression that ehp was just es + life -- am I wrong?

PoE has much more complex mechanics than games usually have these days. Its not like "one defence number works with everything"

You need to find different ways how to counter different sources of damage

you can calculate your minimum EHP if you assume the damage you take will 1 shot you. That makes your calculation of armor fairly straightforward and gives you a "final" number to compare different builds with

Yes and no. Life + ES gives you your EHP in the sense that enemies have to actually deal that much damage to you, bit what the OP is looking for is something that accounts for enemy damage. For example, if you have 1000 life, and your enemy has deals 1000 damage, you die in a single hit. However, if your defenses negate 50% of the damage he deals, he has to deal 2000 damage in order to kill you. So your EHP against this particular enemy is 2000, because that's how much damage he actually has to attempt to deal before the damage that actually gets through will kill you.
