Details

Evasion determines your chance to evade ranged attacks and it also reduces damage from area of effect attacks. See Precision for overview on how hit chances work.

The percentage of damage evaded from area of effect attacks is evasion/400. For example, a character with 200 evasion will evade 50% of damage from AoE attacks. This reduction is capped at 85% of the full damage or 340 evasion.
