well... a crazy build but something thats worth a try is
Armoury 6 - master 5 - rob 5 and normal stats till 160.
U will have more than 800 def even with g9 set(lvl 5 set)
and with a decent set and g10 shield, ur def with bor will exceed the max dmg of most bosses in the server

Thanx for the reply but I don't think armoury is required for sword HK as sword HK already has lot of defence. My defence with BOR is more than 1000 so armoury is not required. How about Mastery-6, RB-5 and rest accuracy as accuracy is less in sword.....suggestions awaited :)

Well... my def being a mace hk is 800+(base - 1.6k on BoR)
If u are not going to conc on def, why go sword?
The reason sword pawns is coz of insane def with bor.
Nobody will hit u 1st in map.(except for other HKS :P)
Go normal after g10 till 158 and wear mace pants for acc :D

See, here's how a3 works

Imagine Ur HP bar = 500, opp dmg = 500, ur def = 250.
So when he attacks u he will do 250 dmg on u i.e, 500(his atk) - 250(ur def)
Hence u will lose 250 HP.

Supposing Ur Hp bar is 300 and his attack is 500 and ur def is 400,
he will do around 100 dmg on u. (same logic)

So hope u get the idea?

There is also the elemental attacks etc. which u can worry about later.

Hence if u have a decent enough HP bar then u can concentrate on def.

What people believe (very sadly) is that if u have a 3k bar, u can tank all.

If u have 3k def, even aura chars will get 0s on u ( :P hehehe)

Go normal if u r a swordie, wear mace pants for acc, make ur def as high as possible.

If u intend to go mace, go blood after g10(u cant block the dmg, then learn to tank it :D)

oh yeah, dont flame for the abovve post( i dont see any one post here much anyways, but just in case)
There are a lot of other variables also as far as dmg calc is concerned.

A sweet example is, even with G10 u go n stand in memora field for a while and u will see memoras also do dmg on u(a little, but they do, i tried it with many chars)
