'''Dodge''' is a form of [[melee mitigation]] where the entire [[melee]] [[swing]] is avoided. Dodge is a [[passive ability]] possessed by all players for all classes and races. However this stat is the most important to players fulfilling a [[tank]]ing role. Only close range melee attacks can be dodged; a ranged attack or a spell cannot be dodged. Players can only dodge attacks if they are facing their opponent, however a [[mob]] can dodge attacks that are from behind. Incapacitated targets ([[stun]]ned for example) cannot dodge.

There are several ways that dodge is modified. You can increase you chance ''to dodge'' by increasing your [[dodge rating]], [[defense]], or [[agility]] which will all increase your effective chance to dodge or dodge percent(%). You can decrease your chance ''to be dodged'' with [[expertise]]. Expertise is only modified from [[expertise rating]]. Your chance to dodge a hit as well as have your hits be dodged is affected by the level of your opponent. Different classes and talent [[spec]]ializations will also vary the amount of dodge a player has.

The amount of dodge you have is affected by your [[class]], [[level]], [[talent]]s, [[agility]], [[dodge rating]], [[defense rating]], and [[defense skill]].
 
   
  +
==External links==
−
Dodge generally goes into two pools that are added together: undiminished and diminished dodge. Your undiminished dodge includes your class's base dodge, dodge from any talents (such as [[Anticipation]]), and the dodge your receive from your base agility.

−
</div>

During this section, a level 80 protection paladin with 400/400 defense skill will be used to demonstrate the formulas. Because the example is a paladin, ''b'' has the value of 3.2685, ''t'' is 5 from 5/5 [[Anticipation (paladin talent)|Anticipation]] talents, ''A<sub>b</sub>'' is 1.7664, and ''d'' was 14.3295. These sum to 24.36% which matches the dodge found on the character screen. Additional discussion about dodge from agility and diminishing returns will be explained below.
 
−  
−
=== Dodge from agility ===
 
−
Agility generates chance to dodge (dodge %). For level 80s, you can simply use the ''R<sub>d</sub>'' value from the table above to find the rate. Note that the base agility (agility from your level and race) plus any agility from talents is undiminished. Agility from your gear and buffs will fall into the pool of diminished dodge. From the game interface, you can easily see what these two numbers are. Mouse over agility in the character window and the '''white''' number is your undiminished agility (this will include your talents) and the {{text|lime|'''green'''}} number, if there is one, is the additional agility which will contribute dodge with diminishing returns.
 
−  
−
<div style="float:left; padding-right: 1em">
 
−
{{Formula|<math>A_b = D_b / R_d</math>
 
−
<math>A_u = D_g / R_d</math>}}
 
−
</div>
 
−
Following our paladin example again, the paladin has a base dodge of 92 and 22 additional agility from the {{item|icon=|Frosthide Leg Armor}} leatherworking enchantment. 92 at a rate of 52.083333 for paladins results in 1.7664% dodge from base agility (''A<sub>b</sub>''). The additional 22 agility from gear adds 0.4224% dodge (''A<sub>u</sub>''), but will be subject to diminishing returns later on in the calculation.
 
−  
−
=== Dodge from defense ===
 
−
Defense skill, similar to weapon skill, is learned from attacking mobs. If your character is level 80 and 400/400 defense skill, your dodge is not modified. However, if your defense skill is not maxxed yet, your ''A<sub>b</sub>'' calculation actually needs to take this into account.
 
−  
−
<div style="float:left; padding-right: 1em">
 
−
{{Formula|<math>A_b = D_b / R_d + (F_s - l * 5) * 0.04</math>}}
 
−
</div>
 
−  
−
"''l''" is your player level, and ''F<sub>s</sub>'' is your defense skill. Following our paladin example again, this modification comes to zero because 80 * 5 = 400.
 
−  
−
<div style="float:left; padding-right: 1em">
 
−
{{Formula|<math>F_u = \left \lfloor \frac{F_r}{R_f} \right \rfloor * 0.04</math>}}
 
−
</div>
 
−
Defense rating, the defense from your gear and enchantments, also contributes dodge into the diminishing returns pool (''F<sub>u</sub>''). First convert your defense rating to defense skill. At level 80, this is 4.92 for all classes (''R<sub>f</sub>''). It's important that you floor the defense skill before continuing with the calculation. From your defense skill, you can calculated the undiminished dodge to add to the pool.
 
−  
−
Following the example paladin again, she has 707 defense rating, divided by 4.92 and floored is 143 defense skill. (Note that defense skill accrued from defense rating is not affected by diminishing returns. Diminishing returns only applies to the additional dodge, parry, miss, and block chance from the defense skill.) This defense skill multiplied by 0.04 equals another 5.72% dodge added to the diminishing returns pool.
 
−  
−
=== Dodge rating ===
 
−
<div style="float:left; padding-right: 1em">
 
−
{{Formula|<math>D_u = \frac{D_r}{R_d}</math>}}
 
−
</div>
 
−
Dodge rating is the final source of dodge chance, and all of this chance goes into the diminishing returns pool (''u''). Like defense, it converts at a rate of 39.348 (''R<sub>d</sub>'') for level 80s of all classes.
 
−  
−
Again following the paladin example, the paladin has a dodge rating of 402. Divided by 39.348 this becomes 10.21% to add to the pool.
 
−  
−
=== Diminishing returns ===
 
−
<div style="float:left; padding-right: 1em">
 
−
{{Formula|<math>u = A_u + F_u + D_u</math>}}
 
−
</div>
 
−
The final step to solving ''d'' from the original equation is diminishing returns. Now we can total the pool that came from all three sources of dodge impacted by diminishing returns: agility from gear, defense rating, and dodge rating.
 
−  
−
For our example paladin, this is 0.4224 + 5.72 + 10.21 to equal 16.35% of undiminished dodge. Now we apply the [[Formula:Melee diminishing returns|diminishing returns]] formula to calculate ''d''.
 
−  
−
<div style="float:left; padding-right: 1em">
 
−
{{Formula|<math>d = \frac{u \cdot C_d}{u + k \cdot C_d}</math>}}
 
−
</div>
 
−
''C<sub>d</sub>'' is the cap for dodge, and ''k'' is a constant, and these both vary per class. Using our example paladin, ''C<sub>d</sub>'' is 88.129021 and ''k'' is 0.9560 for paladins. Calculate the equation and the result should is 14.32% of dodge as expected.

Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street, the Lead System Designer, posted about the upcoming changes in [[Patch 3.2.0]] on the official forums. It was in response to some carefully researched numbers showing how overall avoidance was being lowered, and disproportionately to various tank classes:

| body = The main goal of the change was to make parry not so much less attractive than [[dodge]] as an [[Avoidance (attack table)|avoidance]] stat. Since [[tank]] avoidance is so high already, we wanted to do that by nerfing dodge a little, not by buffing parry.
 
−  
−
This hurts [[Druid|{{text|druid|druids}}]] slightly more than other tanks, but the emphasis is on "slightly." This is not the big druid nerf that some forum posters have predicted. We will continue to evaluate tank survivability and [[threat]] generation based on PTR tests with "{{mob|Patchwerk}}" to decide if druids need to be nerfed or [[Death Knight|{{text|deathknight|DKs}}]] buffed or look at [[Protection|Prot]] [[Warrior|{{text|warrior|warrior}}]] dps or anything else.
 
−

This is also not the big avoidance "come to Naaru" that some posters predicted. Overall, we think avoidance is too high and the game would work better with lower tank avoidance, but suddenly dropping everyone's avoidance by 20 or 30% would be a very big change with many ramifications for healing and gear among other things. It would also feel like a big [[nerf]] to the many players who didn't understand why it would be better for the game in the long term. But I still expect it is coming at some point.

** '''[[Agility]]''': The amount of agility required per percentage of dodge has been increased by 15%. This change required recalibrating the amount of dodge a player has with 0 agility by a slight amount as well, so all players will see their dodge percentage vary a small amount.

** '''Dodge Rating''': The amount of dodge rating required per percentage of dodge has been increased by 15%. This is before [[Formula:Melee diminishing returns|diminishing returns]]. Combined with other changes, this makes dodge rating and [[parry rating]] equally potent before diminishing returns apply. }}
