Deflect
Tooltip
Deflection Rating provides a chance to Deflect damage from Hits, preventing 40% of the damage taken from those Hits and Ailments they inflict. Exact chance to Deflect also depends on the attacker's Accuracy.

Deflection is type of mitigation. It grants a chance to take less damage from a hit by a percentage. Like Evasion, chance to deflect is based on the defender's Deflection Rating against the attacker's Accuracy Rating. Most sources of Deflection Rating scale with the user's Evasion Rating, acting as a supplementary mitigation tool for evasion-based builds.

Mechanics

Deflection uses the same formula as Evasion to check Deflection chance. Unlike Evasion, there is no minimum or maximum Deflect chance.[confirmation needed]

Unlike Evasion, Deflection will work against boss attacks with a red flash.
