Self bufffed, defensive stance, around 71%.  I've seen it as high as 74% in some groups.  80% seems so far away...

82% is awsome...

My monk just hit 38, and my avaidance dropped.  It didn't drop dramatically but about 5 points.  Does this mean I need to try and increase my AGI?

Usually self buffed with standard equipment and no potions, I'm at 72.4%.  When in groups with TV (master I), I average between 74-75%.  HIghest I've ever been was 78% and some change.

The the effectiveness components of avoidance, mitigation, and resistance, are all based upon the level of the mob you are facing, but they are reported as what they would be if you were facing a white conned mob.  Your avoidance didnt really get worse, its just that the even con mobs are now  a level higher.

I'm curious what level the previous posters were... As a 56 Monk, I've not seen my avoidance much above the low to mid 50's solo. 80's!? That's pretty crazy.... Something to shoot for I suppose....

I self buff to 72-74 depending on what I have equipped.  In groups I have hit 80 or so.  I can imagine with a bard, warden (with dust storm), and guardian, one could hit 85ish.  It becomes pretty anelastic around 70-71.

The defense bonuses from AAs in addition to t7 equipment, which has higher and mroe frequent defense mods compared to lower tier equipment, are responsible for the big increase in avoidance n t7 brawlers relative to lower tiers..

In my tanking gear I'm at 71.5% avoidance.If I really, really wanted to, I could get to 77.3% by switching gear out and using agi hex dolls, agi potion, and agi food.But past curiosity's sake I don't think I would ever do that. =)

My highest in grp was 84.3% according to persona screen. I was missing 1 point from parry (had 419) but other than that i was capped and my race is human thou I can't remeber if i have any traits for it (prolly not). Some other race might be able to get 85%+ but dont think it's possible for me (yeah I know I don't know what other get as their traits, might not). Solo (without TV) I'm usually around 70-74% depending on gear/weps equipped. Pauzze

Highest I have seen is 78 % in a nice group setup.  I have not even touched PoA yet on my Claymore though, so hard to tell what I can be capable of.

Would've liked to see that stats page on that, as I can't see how it is possible.  I think the ceiling is 85% with 420 to all avoidance skills and 510 agility.

Well technically 510 isnt the cap is it?

 

(70*7)+starting stat = cap isnt it?

Having said that though I doubt the small diff in starting agl on any race could make up for 1% avoidance *shrugs*

I'd like to see that too. I find it hard to believe since my highest has been 84,3% and that was with 510+ agi and 420+ to deflection and defence and 419 to parry. Pauzze
