...and Protect me from Harm: Difference between revisions

...and Protect me from Harm is a notable Ascendancy passive skill for the Invoker that incorporates your evasion rating into the Physical damage reduction (PDR) calculation, but also imposes 40% less Evasion Rating.

Mechanics

The notable skill modifies the calculation for Physical Damage Reduction (PDR) by treating your evasion rating as additional armour. The 40% less Evasion Rating modifier reduces your total evasion before it is added to the PDR calculation. The new formula for PDR becomes:

PDR = (Armour + Evasion) / ((Armour + Evasion) + (12 × Damage))

Example Calculation

If the player's base evasion rating is 10,080 and armour is 119:
- Applying "...and Protect me from Harm" reduces evasion to 60%, resulting in 6,048 evasion.
- The total defensive value becomes Armour + Evasion = 119 + 6,048 = 6,167.

For a hit of 500 damage:

PDR = 6,167 / (6,167 + (12 × 500)) = 6,167 / 12,167 ≈ 50.7%

If combined with Acrobatics (which imposes 70% less evasion rating), the reductions are multiplicative:

Final Evasion Rating = Base Evasion Rating × 0.6 × 0.3 = 1,814
Total Defensive Value = Armour + Evasion = 119 + 1,814 = 1,933
PDR = 1,933 / (1,933 + (12 × 500)) = 1,933 / 7,933 ≈ 24.4%

Important Notes

The added evasion does not modify the actual armour value for interactions such as Iron Reflexes or any other effect that directly scales with armour.
This interaction allows evasion-based characters to mitigate physical damage effectively while reducing their chance to evade hits entirely.
