Iron Reflexes

Template:Sidebar The Iron Reflexes keystone passive skill gives the following effects:

• Converts all Evasion Rating to Armour

Iron Reflexes removes all Evasion Rating and converts it into Armour.

Even with zero evasion rating, the minimum chance to evade is 5%. Taking the Arrow Dodging keystone along with Iron Reflexes gives the player a 10% chance to evade projectile attacks. The overriding exception to this is the Unwavering Stance keystone, which has the side effect of setting chance to evade to 0%.

Mechanics

Conversion Formulae

The final armour is calculated with the following formula:

Final Armour = Base Evasion * ( 1 + [total all % increases that apply to armour or to evasion] ) 
             + Base Armour  * ( 1 + [total all % increases that apply to armour] ) 

In other words:

Final Armour = Base Evasion * ( 1 + Armour% + Evasion% + "Armour and Evasion%" ) 
             + Base Armour  * ( 1 + Armour% +            "Armour and Evasion%" )

In other words:

 Final Armour = Base Evasion * ( 1 +  +  +  )
              + Base Armour  * ( 1 +                               +  )

Example

1000 Armour
1000 Evasion Rating
from Armour and Steel Skin passive skills
from Evasion passive skills
from the Leather and Steel passive
from Dexterity

Final Armour = 1000 * ( 1 + 80% + 40% + 24% + 50% ) + 1000 * ( 1 + 80% + 24% ) 
Final Armour = 1000 * ( 1 + 0.80 + 0.40 + 0.24 + 0.50 ) + 1000 * ( 1 + 0.80 + 0.24 ) 
Final Armour = 1000 * 2.94 + 1000 * 2.04
Final Armour = 2940 + 2040
Final Armour = 4980
