...and Protect me from Harm
Ascendancy Notable Passive Skill
Physical Damage Reduction from Armour is based on your combined Armour and Evasion Rating
50% less Evasion Rating
50% less Evasion Rating
...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 50% less Evasion Rating.
Mechanics
The notable skill modifies the calculation for Physical Damage Reduction (PDR) by treating your evasion rating as additional armour. The 50% 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 50%, resulting in 5,040 evasion.
- The total defensive value becomes Armour + Evasion = 119 + 5,040 = 5,159.
For a hit of 500 damage:
PDR = 5,159 / (5,159 + (12 × 500)) = 5,159 / 11,159 ≈ 46.2%
If combined with Acrobatics (which imposes 75% less evasion rating), the reductions are multiplicative:
- Final Evasion Rating = Base Evasion Rating × 0.6 × 0.25 = 1,260
- Total Defensive Value = Armour + Evasion = 119 + 1,260 = 1,379
- PDR = 1,379 / (1,379 + (12 × 500)) = 1,379 / 7,379 ≈ 18.7%
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.
