Default Avoidance

I know that the %s in Persona are a guide and no real hard rule since what we fight are higher than Lv80, but as a guide, there is something I do want to share before I ask a question.

Sorry, Blanka - using your high exp debt screenshot out of convenience for reference:


The % in "You have a x% chance to avoid an attack from a level X opponent." is calculated as follows (assuming %s are observed as decimals):
x% = BaseAvoid% + [(1 - BaseAvoid%) x Block%] + [(1 - BaseAvoid%) x (1 - Block%) x Parry%] + [(1 - BaseAvoid%) x (1 - Block%) x (1 - Parry%) x Deflection%] + MinimumDeflection%

Okay, actually, I have no idea about Minimum Deflection just yet. It's either "MinimumDeflection%" or "[(1 - BaseAvoid%) x (1 - Block%) x (1 - Parry%) x (1 - Deflection%) x MinimumDeflection%]".

Anyway, are any of these %s considered uncontested? If not, then what is considered uncontested avoidance? I'm not having any luck finding this out anywhere here or the EQ2 forums.

Thanks,
Sudden

Default Re: Avoidance

Considering my own stats:
"You have a 82.6% chance to avoid..."
Avoidance: 17004
Base: 56.5%
Block: 0.0%
Deflection: 49.6%
Parry: 20.6%
Minimum Deflection: 32.9%

Okay, so Minimum Deflection isn't actually part of that formula, so it's:
The % in "You have a x% chance to avoid an attack from a level X opponent." is calculated as follows (assuming %s are observed as decimals):
x% = BaseAvoid% + [(1 - BaseAvoid%) x Block%] + [(1 - BaseAvoid%) x (1 - Block%) x Parry%] + [(1 - BaseAvoid%) x (1 - Block%) x (1 - Parry%) x Deflection%]

Does that mean Minimum Deflection is the uncontested avoidance?

Minimum deflection is your uncontested avoidance. Of course due to strikethrough even uncontested is still subject to fail.
