Ok I recently made a +500 dodge armor and I thought with such a big boost to dodge that I would be seeing alot of miss's pvp and pvm wise but after doning my dodge gear I noticed on my cter stats tht it doesn't show up under dodge..it still says i have 20 dodge from my fire major.  Well I've tested all my dodge at maximum and havn't seen hardly any changes.  I came to realize that only dodge% show up on your cter stats and so I'm wondering now whats the point of +dodge if only %dodge seems to work?

from what i got...%20 dodge from fire major, %15 dodge  from dodge skill, %15 dodge from darkfire, +500 dodge from armor and +140 dodge from helm.  Thats alot of dodge and I should be running aronud singing "can't touch this - mc hammer" but I'm highly dissapointed that this is either bugged or not working or just doesn't seem to matter.


but when I do cast dodge it does bump up my dodge stat on cter screen.  Because it goes from 20 -fire major, to 35 adding +35% dodge total.  So can anyone give me some insight as to why +dodge doesn't show but %shows up as regular +dodge?

I made Armor with +750 dodge and helm with +560 dodge and tested it once. We found that it had nothing to do with the amount of hit percentage. What was funny was the damage taking had gone down. Instead of getting hit at around 350-400 I was getting hit at 200-250. This wasn't the same through the same fight.

So we guess dodge was really more of a damage reducer instead of actually dodge but this was only one test. To get a real reading you'd need numerous tests.

Well I put this threw it test with bonedragon on stun dodging...didn't really make that much of a difference so I put my mc hammer cd away    Now if I can only figure out wher those +attack mats and blind def mats drop...
