Upping uniques

[mainaman]

Hi , I am about to up a perf vmagi, and I would like to know how would one calculate the max possible defence after upping? Is there a formula for that, or calculator? Or is it just 470+470*1.2=1034 (just using perf base def and adding the 120% ed bonus)

what I do is find the base def from the type of armor it is..... multiply the ED% just so I can check my math, and then go look up what the base defense will be for the upgraded armor type.

Then simply multiply the same ED% against the new armor base. I know it's a pain in butt that takes 1-2 mins, but you will get a very good idea on what you will end up with.

I think I figured it out
Vipermagi always has same def- 279,
when upped it will be anywhere from 364-470, which then gets multiplied by the ed% bonus, max possible def would be 470+470*1.2=1034 as I said before.
No I understand where the randomness in def after upping comes from
