So if the boss attacks 100 times, on each attack the % to be missed is applied, so lets say I got a 10% chance to be missed and the boss attacks 100 times, 10 attacks would miss. So 90 attacks wouldn't be misses, next on each attack would be dodge. So lets say I got 33% dodge, 30 attacks would be dodged, leaving 60 that wouldnt be dodged or missed. Next is parry, and lets say i got 33% parry as well, so out of 60, 20 attacks would get parried, leaving 40 attacks. Block would be last, but since I don't have block ill just skip it.
So out of 100 attacks 10 would be misses 30 would get dodged and 20 would get parried, even though I had the same amount of avoidance from parry and from dodge.
So adding my parry dodge and miss avoidance, I would have 76% avoidance, but that doesan't mean that 76% of the attacks will be avoided, because of the way hits are calculated.
Is this true? This is how ive always thought that avoidance has worked, but ive never had anyone ever comfirm this for me.
Also I would like to thanks everyone who has replied in my topic, all the info has greatly helped.
