Hahahahah

Educate myself?
There is nowhere in that article saying what you claim.
Show me the quote where it says accuracy under 100% reduce defense chance.

The reason you never see the root miss is that Leap's root effect is a force attack that is not related to the damage.

The second you hit Force charge, the target is hit with the leap effect and the interrupt effect, at the end of the animation the target gets hit with the kinetic damaging attack.

I didnt say accuracy under 100% reduces defense.
I said accuracy that if accuracy + defense is greater than 100% than you can not get a "miss" only a "dodge"

yes that i know but if he means in general then that is on focus tree, 15% surge for all atacks

From that very article

So think of it this way

If (100-Defense chance=<Accuracy%<100%) then there is accuracy% chance to hit and defense% to dodged

If (Accuracy% < 100-defense%) then there is a (100-accuracy) percent chance to not hit the target. In game this means there is a Defense% chance of getting a "dodge" and a 100 - defense - accuracy percent chance of a "miss" result

If accuracy% > 100 then there is a (accuracy%)-defense% chance of hitting and a defense - (accuracy - 100) chance of a "dodge"

The root on leap is NOT a force attack. Leap can be dodged and the root will not be applied. The point of my post was that it is very very VERY rare that leap itself is dodged and the only reason to ever push to 110% accuracy is for HM/Nightmare OP runs.

The root is applied on the activation of force charge, it is not tied in any way the damage effect of the charge.
Force charge is actually three effects in one ability

Interrupt and root are instant, the damage comes later

*caughBALANCESHADOWcaugh*

That doesn't make the root any less a main hand attack.
The root can be dodged.
And I also said that 105% is the safe bet and 110% is counter productive because it cost too much of other stats.

And the quote you linked on your article doesn't show anything.

There is no actual way to know how accuracy is calculated without checking the code itself or a Bioware dev to tell us directly the formula.
There is several ways it can be done.
And the most logical and less retarded way would be:

Or if you prefer, Accuracy% chance to hit. If you hit, then % chance to get a dodge from defense rating.

This is PvP, not PvE (which I don't do). In PvE you have the stat pool available where you can and should get your Accuracy to 100% or more (given boss mechanics, debuffs, etc). You don't have the same stat pool in PvP and you sacrifice too much Surge to try and get to that 99/100 number. You will hit like a wet noodle. Go send a PM to the Marauder and Sentinel class Reps and ask their opinion if all the evidence here isn't enough.

There is just so much fail in this thread. Kudos to Randle for trying to reason with a brick wall. I think he's a fellow Shadowlander and I think he's in one of, if not the best, PvP guilds there (don't know his character name). He speaks the troof.
