OK...Perhaps someone with some formula or stats knowledge can help to explain this to me, as Im having difficulty understanding why my Melee Evasion % is reacting this way when Im equipping certain items.

Im trying to maximize this stat, so when I got the chance to choose a cloak as a reward for the first CIS quest last level, I chose a cloak that is +5 Strength and +37 Dodge.

Now, when I equipped the Cloak, it raised my Melee Evasion a whopping .67 points.

But, I also have a Rare Windblade that is +25 Parry, and when I equip this, my Melee Evasion raises 6.43 points.

Can anyone tell me why a +25 Parry item is raising my Melee Evasion more than a +37 Dodge item? Am I forgetting something in the equation here? Should the +37 Dodge item give me more of a Melee Evasion bonus than just .67 points to my added percentage total?

Call me confused by this....because it seemed to be a black and white issue before- but I just cant make sense out of that....

yes but I thought thats what the sword gives as well? A +25 SKILL increase to Parry.

Thats where Im a bit confused at....

That almost has to be it, but Id like for them to be more clear about that in the pop up or weapon info window.

Also be aware that the cloak that is dodge, has a decent amount more AC on it and is a heavy cloak. I dont know why but we can wear it right now. Possibly going with this cloak will leave you cloakless after a patch.
