Deflect Severity

Deflection Severity

Increases the amount of damage you deflect.

[edit Tooltip]

Deflect Severity is a Rating that reduces a character's damage taken on a deflect.

Value

The damage reduction of a successful Deflect is determined by the character's Deflect Severity Total Percentage and the opponents Accuracy. Non-player enemies have 0% Accuracy, so Accuracy only matters in PvP. To determine the damage reduction on a successful Deflect, use the formula: 1 / (1 + Deflect Severity Total Percentage - enemy's Accuracy Total Percentage).

For example, say the character has 50% Deflect Severity and just deflected a non-player character's attack that deals 100 damage. The character will take: 100 damage / (1 + 50% Deflect Severity - 0% Accuracy) ≈ 67 total damage.
