With the groundwork lajs out by the shield block I think I should be able to do that!
It seems like it would be a different mechanic than shield block though -- rather than reducing the amount of damage the hit lands for it provides a buffer health pool which must be depleted (either by one hit or several) before you lose health from your standard health pool.
So EH with Diamond Skin (Crystal Shell) might take the form of EH = (HP + 21707) / (1-DR) and not require any consideration of hit size. And HP and DR would be calculated exactly as they are now, with all the same factors already rolled up into them (e.g. %hp would be applied to hp before diamond skin hp is added on - I'm fairly certain nothing, with the exception of rune choice, can change how much hp you get from DS).
Hi! I just started using the calculator and I want to say great job, it's an awesome tool, and super easy to use, thanks for all the work put into it!
I had some thoughts about EH for wizards I thought I might contribute (and I made a similar post on the thread in the D3 forums on bnet, so sorry for the redundancy).
It seems to me that for melee wizards using diamond skin, the added hp from diamond skin should be factored in to EH. HP from DS benefits from all the same mitigation that regular hit points do, and with a CM build DS gets constantly refreshed, meaning you can always count on those extra hp being added on to your maximum total.
I have around 35k hp, which means that DS accounts for over a third of my health pool. Neglecting the effect of mitigation on a third of my health pool seriously skews the relative values of health increasing stats versus mitigation increasing stats towards health increasing stats, when in practice wizards using DS benefit more from mitigation than the calculator indicates. A buff check box for Diamond Skin and Diamond Skin (Crystal Shell) would be great
Another thought I had is that it would be nice to have a buff check box for Teleport: Safe Passage as well. With a CM build it's easy to keep the 30% damage reduction buff up full time, if one chooses to use that skill (could easily replace frost nova if chain freezing gets nerfed).
