The change to evasion (where it can now also cause critical strikes to fail) will hopefully resolve the high variance that evasive characters felt. It's quite a big difference in our testing.

I've felt evasion got much better the last patch as well, as some monsters, (rhoas), got lesser damage output. And the double evasion chance for arrows.

Does the arrow dodge cap at 90%. I seems to almost be immune to arrows with only 43% evade chance?

This change will probably do quite a lot, yes. :)

Archers tend to have unusually high accuracy -- my level 53 Shadow with 67% chance to evade+Arrow Dodging still eats more than every 10th arrow.

I'm curious about this wording. Did evasion not apply to critical strikes before? Or is there some new mechanic where chance to evade is interacting with attacks that land as critical strikes?

Sounds to me like before if a monster rolled a critical strike, it would skip any evasion check and automatically hit your character. Now a successful critical strike roll will still perform an accuracy vs evasion check.

So before if you were playing an evasion character and, say, two or three mobs all happened to roll a critical hit at once, all of their (big!) swings would hit you automatically. Instead, you will now have a chance to dodge them and maybe only get hit by 1 of the swings. This will cause damage to be less spikey -- or at least wildly reduce the odds of your being instagibbed by crits.

No, it's now that you get two evasion rolls for the crit damage.

If someone hits you, you roll evasion. Then you check the critical strike chance. Previously, it'd then crit you. Now, evasion is checked *again* and the crit is only applied if that one fails to evade.

So does it mean that if a monster hit me, I'll receive damage if my first evasion roll fail and if the hit taken also has a successful critical strike roll and I manage to dodge for the second evasion roll, I end up only taking the base damage without the critical hit?
