Doese anyone know the math behind mirror images? The % chance that mirror image will absorb damage and the amount of damage absorb The casting level to never fizzle on casting mirror image? And the minimum skill need to always cast Focus Attack?

The chance to divert an attack to a Mirror Image is skill -30 as a %. So at 120 skill it's 90%.

To make the most out of this you are better off using it on a character without Parry or DCI, as only connecting hits can be diverted, and when an attack is diverted to an Image the monster loses target and has to reflag on you. Providing there are no damage over time effects in play, or hit spell, this can usually give you well over 5 seconds of time without any incoming danger at all, while you continue to hit. Against monsters that counter attack your attacks triggering counter attacks will cause the reflag to happen quicker.

It seems to absorb 100% of the damage done, it for sure can absorb 100% of the damage up to well over 100 damage - because the ninja masters that use mirror images in BT dungeon absorb 100% of an AI's damage, which is well over 100 damage. I believe the min chance for 100% success is min skill to cast + 40, which I think is the case for all difficulty based skills/spells.
