Determination

Determination is an aura that grants more armour multiplicatively to the caster and his allies.

Skill functions and interactions

Armour: This aura multiplies the player's total armour by the listed amount. For more information about auras in general, see aura.

Comparison with Grace

This skill's effect is similar to the effect of Grace for evasion. If the player has Iron Reflexes allocated, they do the same, but Grace is usually better than Determination. With no evasion specific nodes allocated, the player needs to have 5049 base armour (maximum of which is around 9000 without specific uniques) from equipment and passives for a level 20 Determination to be better than a level 20 Grace with Iron Reflexes.
