Corsairs and Avoid

I don't remember there being a formula for % chance that a mob will hit you.



Friggin LOL'd.

There was this post:

Just found it ^_^
This formula calculates the chance a monster has to miss you. Luckily its not as complex as the def one, so ill just explain it here:
1.If your avoidability is above 999, make it 999. Same goes for the monster's accuracy.
2.If your level is equal or lower than the monsters level, decrease the following from your avoidability:
SAR(mob level-your level,1)

 SAR

For who don't know whats SAR, its a binary operation removing x bits from the right. so for example if your level is 10, SAR(5,1) will be taking 5 in binary (101) and removing one bit from the right. the result will be 10, which is 2 in decimal.

3.The miss chance, in precents, is (avoid / (acc * 4.5)) * 100, where avoid is your avoidability and acc is the mob's accuracy.
4. Limit the result above according to the following:
a.If you are a thief, the limit range is 5%-95%
b.If you are not a thief, the limit range is 2%-80%

For example, a level 10 beginner with 400 avoidability against a green mushroom with 45 accuracy:
1.decrease avoidability by SAR(5,1), which is 2. your avoidability is 398 now.
2. (398 / (45 * 4.5)) * 100 = 196.54. since this number is over 80, your chance to be missed is 80%.

EDIT: I figured out what "arg5" is, it was the mob's level. fixed the formula above.

(210-200)/200 = 5% increased chance of avoiding. If a monster has 250 accuracy like Zakum, you go from avoiding his attacks 17.78% of the time to 18.67% of the time.

We only gain 1/8 of a point of avoid per dex. I have 190 avoid at level 156 and I have quite a bit of avoid boosting gear (quest medal, belt).

The avoid translates to an actual % to dodge a hit. Using 200 avoid and 200 accuracy the miss rate is 22.22%. With 10 more avoid, the miss rate is 23.33%. 10 avoid =/= +5% chance to be missed according to the formula I used from the quoted post above.
