This is pretty important. A fix for this would do wonders for how squishy medium armor mêlée Nightblades can be.
As a NB Melee, I'm assuming you are talking DPS, which means you wouldn't be using Hist Bark, thus, unaffected.
You guys gotta remember, with both being used its a 33% CHANCE to dodge. doesn't mean you WILL dodge 33% of the time, however that being said looking at some of the numbers with the higher chance to dodge it should have been much higher but sadly thats the luck of the draw. Now with those numbers did you do the test only 1 time and give the results or did you do more than one set of 1000 swings? Curiosity is peaking right now as the numbers should change but the word chance is what will bring this all into the light. Sadly the game of chance can be a female dog if you know what i mean

The meaning of what I said still stands, you are a DPS, you aren't wearing Hist Bark, so you are unaffected by the bug and the question presented about the stacking mechanics of Dodge Chance. There is no need to be hostile about it.

I don't believe they understand its bugged.

Sometimes one effect works, sometimes the other, sometimes only the additional buff from the medium armor is there (last effect takes all?).
Never seen them all work and this one tried it out for a quite some time in PvP and PvE.
Now, given how fragile that code is already, re-writing the damned thing is probably a much better idea than trying to fix it, but with the champion system, their resources are bound up working on other "more valuable" things.
So let's see if re-writing a few things (and by doing so fixing this and many other issues) was also on the agenda for that...
18%+15%=33% - I don't think that's how you calculate this.For instance:
Hist Bark (5 Piece Set) gives 18% Dodge chance while blocking.
Elude (Medium Armor Ability) gives 15% Dodge chance while active.
Do these abilities actually stack, or does one override the other? If they stacked, it should come out to a 33% Dodge Chance combined, but we just don't have the numbers to support either claim.
really means. It's truly apalling that a statement like this stands. ZOS ought to explain to us how our abilities are supposed to work. Failing to do that is just covering for their unwillingness/inability to make those abilities work as they ought.... dodge does indeed stack. We're unable to get into the specifics of each ability interaction, but the dodge stat doesn't go to waste.
