Side Stepping Attacks Question

<< < (2/2)

For details see here.

So if you are running and have HR3, an arachnotron 3 tiles away will only aim at you with 5% of their projectiles if you sidestep, which means on average shot every 4 volleys if you don't have dodgemaster and then there's a chance they'll miss anyway..... wait, am I doing the math wrong? This seems too good to be true...

Let me see - 20% initial chance + 3 tiles * 4% distance chance + 3*15% for HR3 + 20% for running = 97%, so you hit the 95% dodge chance cap - your math seems correct.

I think it's kind of funny that people here got so caught up in describing the technical aspects of dodging that they forgot to answer the original question!  :)

You can move in any direction that isn't in the path of the bullet and it will be considered a side step.  It doesn't have to be exactly perpendicular to the path of the shot.

Also, kudos for correctly using the word "literally."  :D
