Deflect

Tooltip

Deflection Rating provides a chance to Deflect damage from Hits,Any damage that isn't damage over time is Hit damage.

Damaging Ailments which result from a Hit will calculate their damage from that Hit, and will not subsequently have Damage modifiers applied directly to them. As a result of this, raising Hit Damage will result in more powerful Damaging Ailments innately. preventing 40% of the damage from those Hits and AilmentsAilments are a family of common Debuffs associated with specific damage types. The list of Ailments is: Bleeding, Ignite, Chill, Freeze, Shock, Electrocute, and Poison. they inflict. Exact chance to Deflect also depends on the attacker's Accuracy.Accuracy is used to hit a target with an Attack, and is checked against the targets Evasion to determine that chance.

Player Attacks incur an Accuracy penalty based on distance from the origin of the damage to the target, with no penalty for targets within 2 metres and up to 90% less Accuracy for targets further than 9 metres away.

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.
