You are able to capitalize on your maneuverability in light armor to reduce the effects of magical warding attacks and increase your effectiveness at maneuvers and evasion. Light Armor for the purposes of this specialization are defined as cloth (AG 1), light leather (AG 2), and hard leather (AG 3). No benefits will be earned for using chain (AG 4) or plate (AG 5).


== Rank 1 - CvA Bonus ==
At rank 1, you gain a CvA bonus of (70 - (AG * 20))% of the highest AsG you have fully trained.

At rank 1, you gain a CvA bonus based on based on a percentage difference between the CvA of your current AsG and the highest AsG you've fully trained. The percentage benefit is calculated as (70 - (AG * 20))% of your current Armor group. Fully trained is defined as having trained off the maneuver penalty of a particular AsG.

Below is an example based on Wearing Robes (AG 1) and 24 ranks of Armor Use (trained for ASG 11).

* Percentage Benefit:
(70 - (AG * 20))%
(70 - (1 * 20))%
Benefit Percentage = 50%
* CvA Bonus:
(<Worn CvA> - <trained CvA>) * <%benefit>
(15 - 3) * 50%
CvA Bonus = 6
* Result:
(<Worn CvA> - Bonus)
15 - 6
Resulting CvA = 9

== Rank 2 - Maneuver Bonus ==


At rank 2, you gain a (20 - (AG * 5)) bonus to your offensive maneuver rolls and a (25 - (AG * 5))% chance to gain Evasiveness when evading an attack. Evasiveness prevents one attack or spell from harming you and lasts up to 30 seconds. When this effect ends, this ability has a 10 second cooldown.

  • Percentage Benefit:
 (70 - (AG * 20))%
 (70 - (1 * 20))%
 Benefit Percentage = 50%
  • CvA Bonus:
 (<Worn CvA> - <trained CvA>) * <%benefit>
 (15 - 3) * 50%
