How much base dex for my hammerdin?

[FujiChaos]

Im planning on making a hammerdin, and I have all the usuall cookie cutter equip, and with items I will have +35 dex, so how much base dex should I have to be able to have max block up until the high 90's? (as many points in holy shield as possible)

Here's another link. The Arreat Summit (http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/classes/paladin.shtml)

Up on top there is a very handy search tool. Type in what you're looking for and most likely you find a lot of threads on what you're looking for.

Assuming you get to lvl 95 and use HOZ as shield using this equation:

Total Blocking = [(Blocking * (Dexterity - 15)) / (Character Level * 2)]

Input Total Blocking = 75 (max/desired)
Blocking = 82 (HOZ) + 35 (slvl 20 Holyshield)
Solving, dex = 137
Less +dex from gear = 102 @ lvl 95.

Cheers :D
