Deflect is horrible please fix it
|
I have 66.5k Deflection Rating and my estimated chance to deflect is 87%. Every gear I'm wearing has a ton of evasion, all of them with deflect mods 20% and above, got a bunch of deflect nodes on the passive tree and still not 100%. In the content reveal, it was said that it would be possible to reach 100%, but that's just not realistic at all. You're gonna get at the very best 90%. What's the point of having an extra layer of defense for evasion that has the EXACT same problem evasion always had? Which is: you dodge most of the attacks, but whenever something comes through the chance of being insta killed is huge, unless you're EV/ES hybrid. Full EV will never be truly viable until players are actually able to reach 100% deflect and I can't help but feel cheated by their statement that you would be able to get 100% when I'm hard invested into a 30-40 div build and can't get to 100%. PLEASE fix deflect, PLEASE make it realistic for a player to achieve 100%. I'm not saying it should be easy, but a high end build should get there.

"possible" let an ambiguity between "doable" and "theorically possible". It mean "no restriction about trying to reach 100%" .
And maybe it's possible and you haven't found the secret tech to achieve it. I'm always surprised by the thing theorycrafter found. Also, you should use PoB for test the stat instead of wasting your money ? |

" Unfortunately that's not the case. Unless the enemy has 0 accuracy it's mathematically impossible to reach 100% deflection right now. formula: https://www.poe2wiki.net/wiki/Deflection PoE2 0.3 Character: https://poe.ninja/poe2/builds/abyss/character/Sadaukar-2191/Acidic_Sadaukar

I suck at maths, so i trust you. But technically, you can lower the enemy accuracy. My point was just "it's not a lie, it's an interpretation".

" Yeah u can, but I don't think there's a mechanic right now that lowers it to 0, that's the point. Unless Monster accuracy is 0, u can't hit 100%. Even if the Monster has only 1 accuracy, it's below 100%. I don't think he was intending to "lie". Maybe he didn't know the exact formula or maybe they changed it after the livestream. A lot of people were saying deflecting would be too strong between livestream and launch, so it's possible they reviewed it and agreed.

Feels like anything that one-shots also can't be evaded. And even if you deflect it you are gonna get 1-shot since it is doing crazy high damage. This is why fub went mixed w/ ES. It's why *everyone* probably should go mixed w/ ES.
