Combat Mechanics and Player Progression

[Jabantiz]

From Dec. 2006, still think it is valid though

*** Gameplay ***

- All classes now determine their base avoidance based on their class rather than the avoidance offered by their armor. For every class, the amount of avoidance for each class is equal to the original amount of avoidance offered by the heaviest armor they could wear before the update.

* Guardians, Berserkers, Paladins, Shadowknights, Templars, Inquisitors: 5% Avoidance

* Assassin, Ranger, Brigand, Swashbuckler, Dirge, Troubador, Defiler, Mystic: 10% Avoidance

* Warden, Fury, Monk, Bruiser: 15% Avoidance

* Wizard, Warlock, Coercer, Illusionist, Necromancer, Conjurer: 24% Avoidance

EDIT: This is the base dodge you get when fighting a same level mob with skills maxed for your level.
