Camelot Grab Bag Q&A

Mythic's Sanya Thomas has once again posted her weekly Grab Bag Q&A on the Camelot Herald, this time answering questions about spellcrafting legendary weapons, barrels of potions, and more.
Q: I have been trying to find out the exact formula for evading for weeks now. Thus far I have been unsuccessful. I have seen a lot of speculation but nothing concrete. Can we get the exact formula?

A: I am rarely allowed to give out exact formulas, usually because the formulas themselves are huge with dozens of variables. In this case, there isn't really a formula. Evade is an ability with specific levels, not something formula based like your chance to hit. Therefore the only two things that affect your chance to evade is your level of evade, and whatever bonus modifiers that specify "plus to evade" you may have.

If you'd like to see everything I've previously said on the subject of evade, go to good ol' Google, click "advanced search," and put the Herald's URL into the domain field. This goes for most formula questions. If you do this search, and feel that the results you've gotten are not accurate, please say so in your question and give me the date on the old grab bag. I do try to revisit these topics on a regular basis due to code changes and game evolution.
