However, since 0/(0+DR) always equals 0 regardless of defense rating, this has no practical effect: chance to hit is always reduced to its 5% floor, regardless of level difference. Combat Shrine applies +200% Attack Rating after +% Attack Rating applied by other sources: this means a player character with +200% AR before activating a Combat Shrine will multiply AR by nine ( ( (100+200)/100) * ( (100+200)/100) ), not five ( (100+200+200) /100) after activating it.
