Those are exactly the same thing. You can't have one without the other.


I think mannihello intended the latter to include 0% chance to block and 0% chance to dodge as well. Since those methods of avoiding attack aren't evasion, resolute technique shouldn't affect them.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Correct. That's all it does.

Can anyone explain what means Dual wielding? Is this relates to BOW ? Or to 2H weapon?

No, Dual Wielding means you hold one one-handed weapon in each hand and strike your opponent with both weapons at the same time. I believe any 1h weapon will work except for wands (Wands work too--cool). Don't confuse with [Dual] Strike where a 1h or 2h weapon (but not the bow) can strike an opponent twice in quick succession. I believe too that if you are dual-wielding and use Dual Strike only one weapon will DS--you cannot get quadruple strike out of it.

Wands can also be dual-wielded just fine.

Double Strike only uses the main hand weapon, even when dual-wielding. There are a few Skills that do this. I think Ground Slam does the same?

Dual-wielding generally alternates weapons. Only Dual Strike and Cleave strike with both weapons simultaneously.

False - they have the same effect/result in combat, but they are not the same thing. Mobs can still have evasion chance(which is why he asked if they suddenly got 0% evasion) but your hits (that's got 100% chance of landing the blow) will ignore the fact.

If the attacker has 100% Chance to Hit with an Attack, the defender always has 0% Chance to Evade. They are two sides of the same coin. Chance to Evade is calculated by checking Attacker Accuracy versus defender Evasion Rating - ResTech and similar modifiers skip this check and just output 0% Chance to Evade, and thus 100% Chance to Hit. Or the other way around.

That's why Chance to Evade on the Charsheet is an estimation. It varies based on the attacker's Accuracy, and can be ignored altogether with modifiers.
thats confusing. if i understood that right, it means:

example 1. without resolute technique:
if my chance to hit is 90% (which means 9 of 10 hits hit the target)
enemies evasion is 70 % (7 of 10 hits are ignored and 3 do hit)
that means: 27% of my attacks hit the enemie?




example 2. with resolute technique:
If my chance to hit is 90 %
And enemies evasion is 0 % (due to resolute technique)
that means 100% of my hits hit the target. (?)

so with resloute technique the formula above is skipped.







If your Chance to Hit is 90%, the enemy has a 10% Chance to Evade.
With Resolute Technique, the enemy has 0% Chance to Evade, so you have 100% Chance to Hit.
