What is your avoidance rating?

[prisoner]

<DIV>With the new rating I found I had a fairly decent avoidance %.  It was 57.7% at lvl 32,  and a 1400ish mitigatioin.  Still not sure what mitigation is supposed to indicate.  I assume the % means that I have a 57.7% chance to avoid an attack,  but what does 1400 mitigation mean?  Wearing full pristine feyiron gear except boots are the feysteel boots with stats,  sheer bone kite shield and weakened ghoulbane.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also what was interesting was that my shield only provided an extra 6% avoidance,  I wonder if it takes blocking into account.  Also,  my mace with +4 agi added ~1% avoidance,  but mitigation went down by 3 or 4.  A bit confusing to me but I'll do some more testing to see if I can't figure out what things mean.  =/</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>17</DIV>

<DIV>I'm a lvl 31 and my avoidance is 59.6 my mitigation is around 1440. I would assume the mitigation rank is related to my agi being around 83 or so but I don't know for sure. </DIV> <P>Message Edited by Hawgeous on <SPAN class=date_text>03-22-2005</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>11:16 AM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by Hawgeous on <span class=date_text>03-23-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:15 PM</span>

I'm level 43, and my avoidance is around 63%, my mitigation is about 2k. I'm not at home, so I can't check, but that's pretty close. I don't think shields affect your avoidance, they affect blocking, which isn't shown as far as I can tell. My understanding is like this: Mob tries to hit me for 2400 damage (what I would take if naked and level 1). My shield tries to block it, resulting in either a block (0 damage) or a hit (keep going). I try to avoid the attack, and do so 63% of the time against something with the same agility as me. Again, 0 damage or keep going. The hit lands and my armor mitigates 2000 damage, I take 400 damage. Of course, I may be way off. <div></div>

Shield blocking is taking into account for avoidance. Simple example - if you have 50% total avoidance and mitigation of X (whatever it takes to give you 50% at your level - hover the mouse to get mitigation as a %), and are attacked twice for 100 points of damage then, statistically you'll take 50 points of dmg. 200 x 0.5 = 100, 100 x 0.5 = 50. Attack 1 misses, Attack 2 hits for 100, is reduced by 50% mitigation to 50 dmg. <div></div>

<P>I am level 31, and my equipment is very similar to the OP. I have full pristine feyiron vanguard, except Dwarven Work Boots, and a Sheer Bone Kite Shield. I have jewelry and belt which are all orange or yellow to me. My mitigation is 13xx (44%) and my avoidance is 58.8%. I took note of these while I was soloing but I had Knight's Stance active, so I am not sure if or how it would change with no buffs.</P> <P> </P>

A heads up. <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=6&message.id=13301#M13301" target=_blank>Moorguard has commented that there will be changes to avoidance, mitigation and the buffs that effect them</a>. It looks likely we'll be caught up in the crossfire between the tanking of  <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=6&message.id=13163&view=by_date_ascending&page=1" target=_blank>Brawlers</a> and <a href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=3&message.id=9045" target=_blank>Warriors</a>. C'est le vie. <div></div>

I play both a Monk and a Pally...I keep trying to get the discussion on the Monk and guardian boards to stop being class specific and become fighter archtype specific, as all changes will effect all of us.  I encourage you all to keep your voices heard in this...even if it means browsing the other Monk/Guardian boards occasionally <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Lvl 30 Pally 57.3% Avoidance (Shield adds ~ 7% block) 1327 Mitigation ( ~ 43% I think) Upequiped everything and took away all buffs (Apart from a racial +6 Defence trait) 45% Avoidance 0 Mitigation In real (solo)  terms I can only tank: low green ^^ and high green ^^ herioc mobs... the low green ^^ never hit me the high green ^^ it is a fair fight and I end with little or no mana and up to white "solo" mobs. Anything blue or higher tends to hit me every other hit, from 50-300 damage, a mob of blues kill me pretty much before I can get a heal off. - same with blue heroics - thankfully I'm better in a group <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. Personally I think that is pretty fair and balanced - I hope in the rebalance we don't get hit with the nerf bat in the "defence skill" nerf <div></div>

[Aquastone]

<P>Does any one know how avoidance is adjusted for an opponent with a higher/lower level?</P> <P>I.E my Avoidance at level 30 is 60.3%.  What changes if I face an opponent lvl 29 or lvl 31?</P> <P>I guess the question is the same for Mitigation when calculated as a percentage.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

[Prowler19]

<P>Has anyone noticed that the numbers for avoidance don't add up? If you open the persona window and add up each of the numbers for parry, base and shield it IS NOT the number displayed as the total avoidance.</P> <P>With my shield out at level 24 I've got a displayed avoidance of 54.7% If I add each individual stat up, I get a total of around 67%.</P> <P>I wouldn't mention something if it was a small amount, but 13% is a big difference. Any ideas what's up with this and/or which number is actually being used by the game?</P>

[prisoner]

<div></div>Good question.  My block is 12.5% if I remember correctly,  but removing my shield only drops my avoidance by ~6%.  I wonder if the formula is maybe block/2 = added avoidance. 17 <div></div>
