Deflection

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

The formula to calculate deflection chance is as follows:

$\color [rgb]{0.6392156862745098,0.5529411764705883,0.42745098039215684}{\text{Uncapped Chance to Deflect}}=\left(1-{{\text{Attacker's Accuracy}}*0.9 \over ({\text{Attacker's Accuracy}}+{\text{Defender's Deflection Rating * 0.2}})}\right)*100\%$

There is no minimum or maximum Deflect chance.

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