95% FD

[Edavi]

<p>Is there something that I do not understand about FD? some hidden factor that goes into it if u have mobs on u or something?  it says 95%, but its more like... 70%</p><p>I dont feel safe when i need to FD...</p><p>What am I missing? because there is NO WAY that this thing is working at 95%...</p>

<p>Remember 95 % is not 95 succesfull ones of 100..</p><p>Everytime you fd, with 95 % chance you roll a 100 sided dice and hope it does not hit the 95-100..</p><p>You should be feeling secure with 95 %, but ofc you can be unlucky with your dice, just like when you greed for masters, mine always fails and hit >20 <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

Edavi is confusing MATH with SOE-MATh

<p>will have to say that mine at 97% has failed 4 times in a row. had it happen a few times now that i think about it, mostly in chardock when i have like 20 mobs on me. dont know if that factors in it but still found it odd</p>

<p>You h ave to remember that its a new rollon each mob beating on you..</p><p>So if you have 20 mobs and a 97 % FD chance, you roll 20 dices and hope that none is 1-3 <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Sure it happens, but it saves you a lot more than it fails, and we have the chance to hit a panic button and still live until its up again <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Pretty sure you are wrong here mate..</p><p>I've been running some trains before when only some of the mobs failed on my fd and continued to hit me..</p>

When you run trains and FD, the FD failed on ALL of them, but some of the train was resetting at the same time. FD is succeed OR fail, for all mobs on you, be it 1 or 100 -- as mentioned, the fail message is "you have fallen to the ground" not "you appear to have fallen to the ground to some of the mobs chasing you". If it were a per mob / encounter chance at success or fail, you would see multiple lines per FD about each individual chance at success / failure.</p>

<p>No need to look for any proof, I know that I was wrong in my early statement now..</p><p>I did some testing and reading in my logs, and I know now that I was wrong..</p><p> Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for the info <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
