[Shadow Veil (Gold): Assassin equipment. Constitution +5, Spirit +5, evasion rate +32%. Equipment requirement: Level 12]
--
The equipment provided no defense or elemental resistance, only a token five points each in Constitution and Spirit.
However, the 32% evasion was pretty good.
"My Ghostly Blur skill comes with 75% evasion."
"Stack that with Shadow Veil's 32% evasion, and my final evasion rate is... 83%!"
In Godforsaken Game, evasion chances from different sources were not added together directly.
Instead, they stacked multiplicatively [final evasion rate = 1 - (1 - evasion A) * (1 - evasion B) * (1 - evasion C)...].
The evasion rate from any single source would not exceed 100%, so no matter how much evasion someone stacked, their evasion chance could never reach 100%... except, of course, under certain special skill effects.
In addition, the skill Blacklight Shield could convert evasion rate into instances of Damage Reduction.
Qin Feng tested it and discovered...
"The number of Damage Immunity Shields this skill grants is actually calculated separately for each skill?"
This came as a pleasant surprise to Qin Feng.
If it used the final evasion rate, 83% evasion would convert into eight layers of Damage Immunity Shields.
But calculated separately for each skill, it was seven layers plus three layers, for a total of ten Damage Immunity Shields!
That also meant...
Blacklight Shield had a very high ceiling!
Of course.
No matter how high the ceiling for this skill's Damage Reduction count, there were still ways to counter it.
Many classes, such as Archers, Mages, Swordsmen, and Warriors, had plenty of ways to attack at high frequency.
In late-game PVP, a single skill could strip away dozens of Damage Reduction layers.
At this stage, however, Qin Feng mainly used Blacklight Shield to take down bosses.
