I've readmany different posts since the Knockdown patch by people who have happilyreported increased amounts of Dodges.


But there's a catch:


Most of the people successfully Dodging don't have Dodge skills!


I'm one of them. Since the patch, I find myself Dodging about 20-25% of the shots that NPCs take at me. But I have no Dodge skills whatsoever.


I read Jaegen's test results on Dodge, and he says he only managed to Dodge 6% of the time as a Master. Is this something akin to the Smuggler's Slicing 2 & 4, which were flipped backwards in the tree until recently and offered lower-level characters higher bonuses than advanced characters? Are Novices Dodging more than Masters? Do Ranged Defense skills give Dodge abilities we didn't know about?


What does everyone else know aboutour mysterious Dodge abilities?

I've been doing it again all today.


And I've read more posts on other boards about this, too.


Nobody has input?
