Question about RBF evasion. (in General)

Is it subject to the dexterity penalty as is trained evasion?

No, it acts like db's

Thanks

i think the only way to counter RBF flaming effect is with big AC...

bring protection back !

Either that or just try to kill the RBF holder as fast as possible.

Does killing the holder stop it? I thought non-familiar tats operated all the way through? I suppose the RoBF is kind special, though, since it is _almost_ like a familiar...

Killing the holder does stop it.

Its like an EF that is immune to GA!

(+ evasion +amfbacklash reduction +magic damage reduction)

Does killing a ToE holder stop its aura?

nope

Rawr,

It does considerably less damage than an EF.

With considerably less ways to have it's damage mitigated though ;P

Indeed,

Rawr brought up that exact point a few posts back.

Let's not forget nothing in the game, not even leadership, boosts it's damage as well...

Does the RoBF evasion stack linearly with AoI and DB evasion?

The evasion effect from the RoBF stacks with the AoI, but the evasion levels stack with DBs/evasion.

I don't think RoBF evasion stacks linearly with an AoI. I just tested a couple fights with and without my AoI, and the evasion on my RoBF stayed at 78 the whole time.

"Evasion" granted by the AoI doesn't show up in the post battle stats.

ahh, thanks didn't know that

The AoI doesn't grant Evasion.

It's a straight -20% chance to hit, and is the only (non Dex) thing that can reduce Base change to hit.

Say you're facing an Elbow (with Archery of course), and your Evasion+DBs negates your opponents PTH. You have equal Dex. The Elbow still have a 100% chance to hit you every round (as that's its base).

An AoI would then reduce that to 80%.
