Calculated Evasion?

Zoradan · 05-12-2005, 09:22 AM

Hey Gents, and Ladys.... :smileyhappy:

Calculated Evasion: this bad boy actualy work? Looks great but I have not been able to get a confermation ie "Zoradan blocks %t from attack", mort tanks spam is so fast or they have stuff blocked so not to get spamed. Confermation here?

Alsoe on Evasion, I have noticed that the timer says 2 min (2.5 or something) but the buff Icon in maintained spells never drops. Is CE a long tem spell or is it one I need to time off line and recast before pulls on raids?

Thanks.

The Agi buff does not stack with our Unholy Strength buff line but the rest seems to work fine. The combatspam does not show any text for it because it only increseases the parry skill and some mitigation, it's like Interverne.

The timer was changed with LU#7 I think, you don't have to recast it just like unholy aura.

I'm having trouble seeing this stack on Raids. i cast it on a tank and nothing changes. Not Aviodance for sure, cuz i inspect them every time.

Is there some buff that cancels its effects??.. cuz if so .. how disappionting 8(

I cant remember where i read it - but i think it was the Bruiser forums.

They said those types of spells, i think the brawler one adds to parry - works by letting you parry for your target, so it's not really an avoidance buff, but a way to distribute hostile effects to another player.

I am not sure if you have to be very close to your target to intercept those hits etc for it to work though, havent really tested. But i assume it would work like Intervene.

The secondary stats often work though, even if they dont stack with everything.

In mechanical way they are all almost upgrades to Intervene in their own flavoured way.

And the infinate time is because they gave it a 0.0 recast - personally it's anoying as it greys the buff out, but tons of spells had that happen to them, i remember on my Berserker Fury got patched almost on a weekly basis, went to infinate duration, then to 12hrs duration, then to 15 min duration then to like 3? a few mins duration.. i was so overjoyed at the longer buff timers, but anyways the point is they messed up a LOT of spells a while back and it's the 0.0 that causes the infinate duration as far as i know.

If you put this buff on another player in your group, they will see the message suchandsuch tries to hit YOU but Shadowknight Block/parries! Every fighter class has a similar ability: Bruiser: Shrug off Monk: Transcendent Vision Berserker: Vehemence Guardian: Allay Paladin: Forget this one off the top of my head but their extra bonus is that it increases their kite shield skill by 10 or some crap These buffs currently all stack and can be very effective in the right situations. From my experience, the amount you block for the target is based on your personal avoidance rating. I say this because at adept3, all versions of this skill for the different fighter classes says it adds 42% evasion (master 46%) however in testing it seems that monks/bruisers tend to block/parry/riposte far more than other fighters, and that the plate tanks seem to block more (or at all, I think they just parry/riposte otherwise) with their shields on. I duo level 46-48 mobs with a bruiser buddy for writs, and with his master shrug off on, he's blocking a very high % of hits. This % naturally goes down against higher level mobs, like level 54+ raid stuff, however even if they are blocking a small % of those hits, we're talking about some pretty big hits there. Keep in mind this does NOT work like intervene, you will not take any damage whatsoever. There is never any detriment to having this buff up, even if you are the only tank, put it on your group's healer. if you are solo, summon a squire and get the bonus from it. On getting the bonus to work. The text in the spell is incorrect. The Mitigation bonus and parry bonus is applied to YOU, not the person you are placing the spell on. However, this bonus does not appear unless you put it on and then zone. I'm not sure if this is simply a display bug, or if the bonus is actually not there (the blocking part always works) but I've noticed a slightly higher parry rate after I zone with this up and also 2% higher mitgation. Also, the AGI buff does not stack with Lucan's Infernal argain, and with Unholy Strength, it seemed to buff my AGI by a whole 2.
