Diablo – How much dodge do I get per point in Dexterity

I use Fists of Thunder for the gap closer and the 10% movespeed Passive as means to get more uptime for the Vortex - that gap closer and more mobility is the difference between the vortex falling off or not, a lot of the time.

Small chance, I guess, is because your base crit chance is low. I've noticed the skill stacking up on each crit I make - and using Crippling Wave as my 2nd autoattack, for example critting two enemies with a cleave will pump the aura to 3 instantly.

Continuous is based on your attack speed as is with many other "tick" based spells.

I also use the Dodge Mantra to not have to back out of a fight since you wan't to be there, letting the Vortex work it's magic for as long as you can. I also use Serenity (absorb all damage for 3 seconds) and Blinding Light as means to keep me out of harms way while steadily grinding down waves of foes with cleaving and the Vortex.

Yes, dodge simply gives to attackers a x% to miss their attacks. It works on all attack types:

• Melee Attacks
• Ranged Attacks
• Ranged Spells
• Ground-based AoE

Dodge does not work only against status effect modifier like fear, jail, etc.

Dodge is linked to dexterity and seems not hard-capped but its formula has a diminishing effects like explained in this answer.

2000 Dexterity, for example, provide you a 40% dodge:

100*0.100 + 400*0.025 + 500*0.020 + 1000*0.010 = 40%
