'''Duck and Weave''' is a [[combat maneuver]] available to [[rogue]]s and [[monk]]s that provides a 30 second boost to [[evade]] chance. The increase is higher when wearing lighter armor groups. When you evade an attack, there's a chance that you can redirect that attack against a different enemy. The redirection chance is higher in more offensive stances and is also based on [[influence]] and [[agility]]. Training in the [[Dodging]] and [[Multi Opponent Combat]] skills is recommended. There is a 5 minute cooldown period during which the reactivation cost triples to 90 stamina.

Description

Redirect your enemies' attacks to each other as you weave between them.

Mechanics

Upon evading a melee attack, there is a chance that the attack can be redirected against another enemy in the same room. The chance for redirection is ((8 * (1 + Duck and Weave Ranks)) + (8 * Dodge Ranks per level) + (1 / 10) MoC ranks to 100 ranks + (1 / 20) MoC ranks over 100 + ((Agi Bonus + (2 * Inf Bonus)) / 5)). Each stance higher than offensive reduces the redirection chance by 20%, and is removed entirely in defensive stance.

Formula Example

In the below example, the formula has been used to calculate the percent chance to trigger Duck and Weave upon an evasion for a level 50 monk in the advanced stance with 3 ranks of Duck and Weave, 2x Dodge, 15 Multi-Opponent Combat, 20 Agility bonus, and 15 Influence bonus. 

  (8 * (1 + D&W Ranks))                            (8 * (1 + 3))
+ (8 * Dodge Ranks / Level)                      + (8 * 102 / 50)
+ (1/10 MoC ranks up to 100)                     + (1/10 * 15)
+ (1/20 MoC ranks over 100)                      + (1/20 * 0)
+ ((Agi Bonus + (2 * Inf Bonus)) / 5)            + ((20 + (2 * 15)) / 5)
                                                 = 32 + 16 + 1 + 0 + 10
= Base chance                                    = 59%
* stance reduction                               59% *.8 (20% reduction)
= Chance to trigger Duck and Weave upon evade    = 47.2%
