How does dodge chance work?

Gordon906 · February 2017

If I get 20% more dodge chance for it mean dodging will be faster or what?

Dodge chance is the chance to perform a passive dodge (not a dodge roll). If you have 15% dodge chance, you have the chance of 15% for every hit to perform a doge animation (leaning back) and to open a window of ~0.7 seconds where no single target attack can hit you.

Doge animation xD

There is no visual cue to Dodge, you just have a percentage chance to take no damage from an attack.

Dodge Roll is something different, and you see the animation. Whether you avoid or mitigate damage depends on if you dodge rolled soon enough. Also, Dodge Roll uses up a lot of Stamina, so you can't do it over and over again.

There is no visual cue for dodge? I don't think that is correct. You can clearly see your char lean back as a dodge animation.

How high can you get your dodge chance? I'd thought 15% was the highest now.

And does that actually mean it's basically a FREE 15% damage mitigation tool? (in addition to whatever mitigation your armor and abilities give)

15% from Major Evasion, 5% from Minor Evasion

There is cost for casting abilities giving these buffs and it is not 15% mitigation. It dodges 15% dodgeable hits. In game where large portion of damage is not dodgeable and more than 60% of all dodgeable hits are light/heavy attacks.

and frankly when you think about it, that's pretty damned weak. Even WOW had visualizations for when yourcharacte rparried/dodged.

Pretty sure that has been debunked, or at least no one has ever shown evidence that it's true. Where do you get the .7s value from? How did you conduct the testing?
