# Evasion modifier to parry now scales with Bushido skill
* If the player has higher than GM Bushido, and at least GM Tactics and Anatomy, they get a bonus to their evasion modifier (10% bonus to the evasion modifier to parry NOT 10% to the final parry chance)
* Bonus modifier to parry range: (these are the ranges for the evasion modifier)
o 16-40% bonus w/o tactics/anatomy
o 42-50% bonus w/ GM+ bushido and GM tactics/anatomy
# Evasion duration now scales with Bushido skill
* If the player has higher than GM Bushido, and GM Tactics and Anatomy, they get a 1 second bonus
* Evasion duration range:
o 3-6 seconds w/o tactics/anatomy
o 6-7 seconds w/ GM+ Bushido and GM tactics/anatomy
I'm pretty sure that's w/o parry included.
"I'm pretty sure that's w/o parry included"
Wrong...
Parry (and in the case of weapon parry its the combination of parry and bushido as your base PARRY CHANCE)
Now evasion takes your parry chance then apply a multiplier to it so become your final "evasion chance".
If your base parry chance is 0 then the max evasion bonus of 50% will give you 0*1.5=0 0% chance to evade.
Let me say it this way so you all can understand...
Evasion to parry skill is like DCI/HCI to your weapon skill.
You can have 50HCI but you will most likely never hit someone with 0 weapon skill against his/her 120.
Parry skill is the same way... you can have 120 Bushido 120 Anatomy and 120 Tactics with a 2 handed weapon (evasion will give you 50% bonus to your parry). OK using the formula below
Blocking with a 2-handed weapon:
New = (Parrying * 10) * (Bushido * 10) / 41140 (Add 5% if Parrying or Bushido skill is 100 or above)
120 bushido and 0 parry gives you a base parry chance of 5%.
Now you turn on evasion which will give your parry chance a bonus of 50% as your evasion chance. Which in your case running 0 parrying will have 5%*1.5=7.5% chance to evade an attack.
And btw human 20 parry works with evasion, just like human 20 weapon skills works with dci and hci.
Oh and evasion in PvP is very powerful. At least during the evasion (with a high enough of a base parry chance of course), you can survive 5+ archer AI spam gank with zero issue...
It's not required to have parry to CAST evasion, you just need parry skill to make your evasion more effective.
And in case you guys wanna know...
120 bushido w/ human 20 parry will have a 10% chance to parry and 15% chance to evade.
120 bushido and 120 parry with a:
1. 2 handed weapon will have a 40% chance to parry and 60% chance to evade.
2. 1 handed weapon will have a 35% chance to parry and 52.5% chance to evade.
