Duck and Weave is a combat maneuver available to Rogues and Monks. There is a 5 minute cooldown period during which the reactivation cost triples to 90 stamina. Training in the Dodge and Multi Opponent Combat skills is recommended.

Description

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.
