So i was thinking of doing a dodge build for my nightblade but i want to clear some things up first...

1) I assume they are calculated separately, meaning if i have 33% dodge and 15% miss, it'll first deal with the dodge and then the miss meaning my miss chance is in reality only 10%?

2) Can you miss spells? I assime you can dodge as you do it all the time while rolling.

3) Do these stats work at all on AoE effects?

    1) They are separate, dodge is a chance that YOU will avoid the attack. This can be seen as an animation where your char side-steps or turns sideways to avoid an attack. Miss is a chance that THEY will miss. There is no animation for this, the attack simple does nothing to you.

    2) Spells can miss. Some skills only apply to physical miss chance though, IE sparks from the dual wield skill line.

    3) I am not 100% as I have not tested this, but my experience leads me to believe that you can dodge or they can miss AoE attacks, but only at an individual tick level. Since most AoEs are DoTs as well chances are you will not get out without take damage since each tick has its own miss chance. Again, this is conjecture based on casual experience. In any event its safer just to dodge roll out of the AoE.
