Iron Reflexes
Keystone
Converts all Evasion Rating to Armour. Dexterity provides no bonus to Evasion Rating [1]
Why should I dodge blows that I do not fear?

Iron Reflexes is a keystone passive skill that removes all evasion rating and converts it to armour. It removes the bonus to evasion rating that dexterity inherently grants.

Mechanics

Conversion Formulae

The final Armour value is calculated with the following formula: [1][2]

Final Armour = 
  Flat AR * (1 + [total #% increased/reduced AR]) * (More/Less AR modifiers)
+ Flat EV * (1 + [total #% increased/reduced AR or EV]) * (More/Less AR modifiers) * (More/Less EV modifiers)

where:

  • EV = "Evasion Rating"
  • AR = "Armour"
  • Flat EV = Sum of Evasion Rating from Equipped Items (e.g. Body Armour, Shield) and other sources of additional Evasion Rating (e.g. Grace)
  • Flat AR = Sum of Armour from Equipped Items (e.g. Body Armour, Shield) and other sources of additional Evasion Rating (e.g. Determination)
  • More/Less modifiers from different sources (e.g. Determination vs Basalt Flask) are multiplicative with each other.

Modifiers which grant #% increased Evasion Rating and Armour (e.g. Bravery) or #% increased Global Defences (e.g. Skin of the LoyalSkin of the Loyal

) only apply to base values one time. For example, taking Bravery would increase flat ER by 24%, which would then be converted directly into the final Armour. It does not then apply 24% increased Armour, as the flat ER was already affected by that modifier.

When factoring modifiers which apply to specific equipment slots such as (67-70)% increased Armour from Equipped Helmet and GlovesArmourFromHelmetGlovesEldritchImplicitPinnaclePresence6
Eater of Worlds
(67-70)% increased Armour from Equipped Helmet and Gloves
, each source of flat AR/EV should be calculated separately, then summed at the end. These modifiers are additive with other increases and reductions.

Summary

With Iron Reflexes:

  • #% increased Evasion Rating mods are applied to flat Evasion Rating only.
  • #% increased Armour mods are applied to flat Armour and flat Evasion Rating.
  • #% increased Evasion Rating and Armour mods get applied to flat Armour and flat Evasion Rating.

Therefore, the mods that provide the most significant benefits in conjunction with Iron Reflexes are those that increase Armour or both Evasion Rating and Armour.

Location

Iron Reflexes is located in the Southern part of the tree near the Duelist Section. It is a stand-alone keystone.
