Evasion is a rating that measures a character's ability to avoid being struck by enemy attacks.
All classes start with 53 base evasion rating and gain 3 additional evasion per level.
Dexterity also grants implicit bonuses to evasion. Every 5 points of dexterity provides 1% increased evasion rating.
Movement speed is beneficial for characters that employ evasion as the primary form of damage reduction, since it requires a play style where physically avoiding enemy spells and attacks is often necessary.
Mechanics
Evading an attack prevents all damage and other harmful effects including status ailments and stun. Only melee and ranged attacks can be evaded; spells cannot. The chance to evade an attack is based on evasion verses the attacker's accuracy. Chance to evade can never be lower than 5%, nor higher than 95%.
Chance to Evade = 1 - Attacker's Accuracy / ( Attacker's Accuracy + (Defender's Evasion / 4) ^ 0.8 )
Evasion also gives an implicit chance to avoid taking critical strikes from attacks. Critical strikes from spells can't be evaded. If an incoming critical strike succeeds its hit roll, a second hit roll is performed to determine if the critical is evaded or not. If this roll succeeds, a critical strike is scored. If it fails, the attack still hits, but only for regular damage.
Chance to Dodge bonuses granted by sources like Acrobatics function similar to evasion, but are rolled separately. Phase Acrobatics grants a chance to dodge spells.
Assuming a character has a 40% chance to evade and a 20% chance to dodge, a character has a 52% chance to avoid taking damage.
Chance to Avoid Attack = 1 - ( (1 - Chance to Evade) * (1 - Chance to Dodge) / 1 )
Passives
There are passive skill nodes that grant additional evasion or a combination of bonuses including evasion.
Evasion
These passives increase evasion rating by a percentage.
In the case of Arrow Dodging, the chance to evade projectile attacks is doubled.
