Diablo – Which elite affixes cannot be dodged

diablo-3

Which elite affixes cannot be dodged?

Clarification: By "dodged", I mean the "dodge" mechanic in the game: when the attack looks like it should hit you, but you dodge it based on your "Dodge Chance" stat.

Quin69 mentioned in one of his 2.2 Monk guides that the following are dodge-able:

  • Reflect Damage
  • Fire Chains
  • "so many magic affixes"

and the following are NOT dodge-able:

  • Frozen Pulse
  • "poison and stuff"

I've been unable to find any further research or proof yet.

I found this for most kinds of damage reduction, but not dodge:
