hello everyone, while i was checking the new 2.0 screenshots, i noticed that "Magic Evasion" was still one of the stats, now i know that they might change that later, but they also might NOT.

and i think people talked about this before, but forgive me, couldnt help myself to talk about it again since its really important =)

what's the difference between Magic Evasion & Magic DEF ?
well, Magic EVA means that there's a CHANCE that you might not get hit by a magical attack at all, or a CHANCE for reduced dmg. or - with the current system we have in 1.23a - it does nothing at all ^_^

while Magic DEF is a dmg reduction based on a formula, with a very little room for chance.


Why Magic DEF ?
lets say you're fighting a tough boss, one of his magical attacks hits you for 2,000 dmg, by getting some gear with Magic DEF+ you can reduce that dmg, up to the point where you know how much he will always be dealing


Why we dont want Magic EVA ?
for the simple reason its based on pure luck, or rather a RNG (Random Number Generator), and no matter what they do to it in 2.0, it will still be based on a RNG, which is our main enemy in this game....



i tried to make this thread as simple as i could, and im really looking forward for an answer from the DEVs (if possible), why Magic EVA, not Magic DEF ?

Thank You
