The calculator will display your character's health pool, armor value, and shield capacity based on the selected level and class. These values are essential for understanding your character's survivability in combat.

Formula Used

The health, armor, and shield values are calculated using the following formulas:

Health Pool: Base Health + (Level × Health Growth)

Armor Value: Base Armor + (Level × Armor Growth)

Shield Capacity: Base Shield + (Level × Shield Growth)

Each class has different base values and growth rates for health, armor, and shields. The calculator uses these class-specific values to compute the final results.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example calculation for a level 50 Assassin:

Base Health: 250
Health Growth: 5
Base Armor: 100
Armor Growth: 2
Base Shield: 150
Shield Growth: 3

Using the formulas:

Health Pool = 250 + (50 × 5) = 250 + 250 = 500
Armor Value = 100 + (50 × 2) = 100 + 100 = 200
Shield Capacity = 150 + (50 × 3) = 150 + 150 = 300

So, a level 50 Assassin would have a health pool of 500, armor of 200, and shield capacity of 300.
