Increases your dodge chance by 200% and your avoidance by 87%.

which sounds great.

basic
Masterful dodge
dodge 43.8
243.8
avoid 55.1
67.7


are they adding them up 2 different ways or is this another ... non standard design feature?

    The math involved is very... <sunglasses> Cryptic.

    was talking about this in game myself a while back.

    Its not so much cryptic math as it is incorrect info displayed for how it works.

    As pointed out they both say add % and thats what the +dodge% does.

    No amount of 'crypic maths' would turn a true +87% into an amount that doesnt even take the total UPTO 87%, since +87% would turn 0% to 87%.

    What is happening is its adding +avoid rating, which is where 'cryptic math' comes in

    A straight +% as it says would work the same as with dodge, but +rating (what its really doing) has reduced effectiveness the higher avoidance is. The +avoidance rating listed works out to the small increase it actually gives.

    Wether its intended to work this way and they have the description of it adding +% wrong, or its intended to be +% and they have it adding rating by mistake though is unkown.

    Probably the first one; the second one would constitute a pretty huge buff that the power doesn't need.

    Thank you, I was hoping it was yet an other typing error.
