Dodge % vs Effective Dodge??

[Failblog]

hello,
I am curious, if my Character panel shows that i have 26% dodge, unbuffed. What is my actual dodge? or is that figure my actual dodge, AFTER DR? I have always been sort of confused on how DR is displayed, if at all.

could someone clarify?

One other small item that the general guide doesn't touch on (up front, apologies if it's in later pages that I haven't read), there is also a small affect depending on the level of the thing you are tanking.

Defense contributes to your miss/dodge/parry chance, and the character sheet shows that value against a same level mob, so technically that value is slightly smaller against, say, a boss level mob.


Otherwise, beware the Satrina toolbelt! It's like Batman's utility belt, a link for every conceivable need.

That's a good point, worth expanding on in the article
