Hey guys, just got a couple of questions i'm hoping you can help me with regarding avoidance.

Defense skill = I was wondering what the cap was on this skill at 80 (if there is one)

Ripostes = I've read in a couple of different posts, theres a 30% chance that when you parry, you'll riposte ?

Any parry% over 20% goes to your riposte chance ?


EDIT = Also, which avoidances are used in which quadrants, block is frontal, riposte is frontal ?... i know deflection is 360, but that doesn't concern us, what about parry and base ?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure about the cap, but I want to say there's a soft cap somewhere, maybe 35% or 40%? That is probably completely wrong though.

As far as ripostes go, not sure exactly. The exact wording in the LU that I saw addressing the avoidance changes when they went into place (LU 29 I think?) was "A base 20% of parries turn into ripostes" which I've seen some take as meaning anything over 20% parry = % to riposte (so 23% parry = 20% parry and 3% riposte) and others I've seen claim that it means that 20% of all parries are ripostes (which means if you have a 23% chance to parry, then 23% * 20% = 4.6% of the parries will actually be ripostes, and 18.4% will be parries).

Block is frontal, and parry is frontal only also unless you are a brawler (they have 360 parry). I think in LU13 Riposte was made frontal only (parry still 360) for brawlers but not sure if that has ever changed to be 360 again. Base avoidance (DEF/AGI) is 360.

Skill cap is now 520.
