Combat Modifier, Dodge+Parry+Block

Questions about the modifiers and how they work in game.

Combat Dodge Modifier

• Whats our base dodge? (notice that I have 0.375 innate cDm in /stats)
• Does it work 1v1?
• Does it work against targets you're not facing?
• 1 increase = 1% increase dodge chance?
• Does dex alter your chance to dodge other than just adding Combat Dodge Modifier?
• Can dodge every attack and spell? (exception:cast time(this seems weird))

Combat Parry Modifier

• Only work from front?
• Does it reduce all damage of a parry or just some?
• 1 increase = 1% increase parry chance?
• Can block everything except ranged attacks?

Combat Block Modifier

• Does it reduce all damage of a parry or just some?
• Confirmed to only work from front
• 1 increase = 1% increase block chance?
• Can block everything except Polearms?

----------------------------------------------------------
Damage Avoidance % chance to avoid all damage from a hit
Damage Resistance all hits are reduced by this number up to Max%
Damage Absorption (old stat?) Don't know what it's for

 

Testing Parry is probably easiest with the Parry skill from tactics, since it's such a large bonus and can be kept up non stop.

Same goes for Dodge in the light armor tree, though this skill gives much less modifier, bit more than half as much as Parry. (maybe dodge is worth more, since it can dodge from all angles, or reduces damage completely)

Deflect in the Block skill tree is weighted the same as the Parry skill, so they're valued the same by the devs.

 

*bump* Any more infos on how these work?

I didn't have time to listen to all of them but there are some sections relevant to Combat Math and Dodge where Chris explains some about this...
