This should be ground breaking. :P
THAT WOULD EXPLAIN WHY IN PVP MAGES DODGE SO MUCH WHEN VS. A BEAR!

Ya'all just fried my brain. I might just be the most mathematically ignorant person in the game. I literally play by how it feels. Ask rush.... I can't tell you how many times I introduced him to a different build or combo and he states that it doesn't make any sense or add up, but it works lol.
It is nice though that ya'all do the thinking and post it.
So I want to say thank you

Simply put, the higher your hit percent, the less factor dodge plays. It's why, even when bears have 80+ dodge, it doesn't seem like 80+ dodge when vs a bird. The bird has 200+ hit percent to counter that dodge.
It's also why, when vs a mage, a mage dodges a bear's beckon & slashes A LOT. 112% hit is not enough to make that 20+ dodge on a mage unnoticeable, thus explaining why you see those "unexplainably lucky" dodge streaks on a mage vs a bear.

Below you'll find Physio's post, the one I based my simplified remark on about hitting 85 times out of 100... I understand that dodge and misses should be viewed as separate, but in the end 85 hits out of 100 is 85% hit in my view and the best estimate I have seen on these forums.
Anyway, looking forward of you coming up with a better experiment on seeing what the exact hit% would be, taking dodge/hit% into account
Below's the post from Physio...

This is my understanding of how PL's roll system works. A roll system is how one action is affected by several variables, and once one roll is completed, the second part of the system kicks in, and so on. The roll system is applied in many types of games (not just limited to MMOs) that have variable stats/attributes that affect the system in some way or another.
When you attack an enemy, the game follows a specific algorithm that determines the outcome of the attack:
1. You will MISS the attack
2. The enemy will DODGE the attack
3. You will damage the enemy
4. You will critically damage the enemy
Hit% roll is based off of your hit%. There is a probable cap to this value (<100% despite your hit% value).
Enemy dodge % roll is an unknown variable for each enemy.
Crit% roll is based off of your crit. There is no cap for crit atm.
Critical damage = effective damage x2
Effective damage = damage - enemy armor
I did not include weapon proc in this, as they activate at a low random occurrence. The proc most likely adds at the very end, after damage/critical damage is calculated.
This is my current basic understanding of the roll system. I think each given attribute (hit%, dodge, crit%) is independent in each part of the system.
Bringing back the old crit chart up:
Crits landed was 44.7%, very close to the crit value of 46. We know hit% is capped. There were 10 dodges.Void set, with Focus (+25% hit, +25% Crit): Hit% 165, Crit 46, Damage 180-225

When crit and hit is lowered in the next example:
You get 12 dodges, which is a pretty insignificant change from 10 dodges.Void set, Without Focus: Hit% 140, Crit 21, Damage 180-225

Total critical damage: 3581
Average critical damage: 255.8

Thus why I believe this is the current system at work. If there's more complex things at work I would love to know!

And for all doubters of my rockstar status:
I will post a new thread sometime this weekend with full details since I need more research in some aspects (am finding that when hit drops below a hundred and dodge rises they appear to amplify each other) but I can give you a preview. With over 500 shots combined taken at 100% hit against both 3% and 13% dodge, I only missed once. I can safely say there is NO HIT PERCENTAGE CAP. And you can quote me on that.

Wait, So If your damage is <100, does that mean crits actually hinder you?
Mindblown.

And that is one of the reasons why Bird does not have OP dodge or crit like bear or mage.
It's high hit % combined with a near 100% critical when buffed can take on a bear's dodge.
People say bird is weakest in PvP, or rather "underpowered".
Bird isn't really that extremely underpowered though.
Hit having no cap seems pretty obvious if you simply think about it.
Now we need to test for a dodge cap.
You guys are ignorant, hit percent does
not effect dodge at all. You can have 600 hit percent and your opponent can have 50 dodge and will still dodge 50 percent of the time. Only reason it seems like you are dodging less is because most likely you have been debuffed by roots or knightmare. Even a mages capped Ice spell decreases your dodge slightly if it hits
You only missed once, but how many shots were dodged? I'm especially interested in the dodges from your 3% dodge experiment (but also for the 13% dodge one).
And for all doubters of my rockstar status:
I have to repeat the low dodge experiments to match the method of later experiments. Latest were against 19 dodge and was getting between 18 and 23 percent with each 200 hit attempt. Was alternating between 100 and 94 hit. Believe I was actually slightly under a 100 though as I was registering around 99.7 hit on it. Don't have full results with me ( heading out of town) but I want to get my testers to 51 before I post final results. They are 45/47 now but at 51 I can use the high dodge greens for more testing. Oh, the 94 hit was registering between 89 and 92.

Interesting results. Looks like you were right about hit% not being capped to 85% for auto-attack. I'm really looking forward to the final test results, and how dodge vs hit factors in in all of this.
If you need a 51 'crash test dummy', I'd be happy to help on my 51 bird. Just shoot me a PM
And for all doubters of my rockstar status:
This is the chart from the 19 dodge experiments ( lower dodge experiments were done a different way, will repeat later). The way it worked was I kept attacking in batches of 40 till I got the number of hits marking the number of dodges/misses along the way. I repeated 5 times for each experiment to get 200 hits. I used the level 27 heavy crossbow since that has a 1.4 attack speed to make it easy to do the counts. For the dodge equation, I did not count the misses in the total shots, but for the hit equation, I did. I did this because I do not feel you can dodge a shot that is missed, so equations were:
Hit Percentage = ((1 - misses) / (misses + hits + dodges)) * 100
Dodge Percentage = ((Dodges) / (Dodges + hits)) * 100
Now something that jumps out is that when the hit was lowered, the dodge percentage also dropped. I would expect the number of dodges to drop as it did, since less shots landed, so less chances to dodge, but I did not expect the percentage to drop. This is why I need to run more tests when I get the time, and why I am still posting here and not starting a new thread yet.
