Talk:Dodge

Upcoming Changes for 3.0 and/or Wrath

I was just checking on the PTR with my Night Elf druid, and got the following numbers. I have no dodge rating, and no defense rating was involved on the gear I was experimenting with.

I used the macro from Talk:Formulas:Dodge to get more exact dodge chance numbers than the tooltip gives.

42.860145568848 dodge at 741 agi

35.747329711914 dodge at 602 agi

22.829992294312 dodge at 350 agi

From this, I can calculate that I'm getting something like 19.52 dodge per agi (might be some slight rounding error). Nerf bat sucks, huh? -_-

I didn't dig for any changes to the base dodge value.

Dodge Rating

Should it be explained more clearly how does Dodge rating affect the % chance to Dodge? I couldn't find the explanation. Tinunduil (talk) 07:56, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Patience

I've worked out all the math to update the formulas. However it takes me some time to convert this into readible prose & TeX (the math stuff) so have some patience. I outlined the high level formula first - I'll slowly add the details for dodge from agi, diminishing returns, un-maxxed defense skill, characters below level 80, and more examples hopefully this weekend.

I figure since this article hadn't been updated much since classic wow, this was better than what was there before.  Howbizr^(t·c) 2:23 PM, 7 Jun 2009 (EDT)

Cap

Should it be explained more clearly how does Dodge affect the level and which (base) Cap it gives? I couldn't find any explanation. For small example, which dodge I've (or pet) as lvl 80 against lvl 73 npc, is there a cap? --Olliminatore (talk) 17:55, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
