Amazon skill · level 12Not against playersPassive. You have a chance to dodge enemy missiles when attacking or standing still.
Avoid is a level 12 Amazon passive (Passive and Magic tree, requires Dodge; it unlocks Evade). While the Amazon stands still or attacks, each missile that would otherwise hit her has a chance to be avoided outright. The numbers that decide it are the chance, 65% at level 20, and its ceiling of 75%; it starts and ends higher than Dodge.

Mechanics · Skill mechanics · Amazondm12, the diminishing-returns calc that runs from Param1 (the minimum, 15) toward Param2 (the maximum, 75). The Basin's page writes it out as min(15 + [60 × [(110 × slvl) ÷ (slvl + 6)] ÷ 100], 75), and the table's values follow it: 24% at level 1, 45% at 5, 55% at 10, 61% at 15, 65% at 20, 67% at 25, 69% at 30.The calc reads lvl, so +skills from items raise the chance; the passive is applied through passivestat1, passive_avoid.
Avoid is a passive state (avoid) and, by the Basin's page, the last check a missile faces: it must first pass the Chance to Hit roll against the Amazon's defense (and Defense vs. Missile where she has it), then the Blocking roll if she holds a shield, and only then is it rolled against Avoid. An avoided missile does no damage, so nothing on Taking Damage applies. It works only against missiles and only while she is not moving; Dodge is the same roll for melee attacks, and Evade covers both while she moves.
The avoid animation can interrupt what the Amazon was doing, by the Basin's page. In the 1.10–1.13 game it could break attack sequences like Strafe, Jab, Fend and Zeal; the same page records that fixed in the current game.
The animation is 8 frames at zero acceleration by the Basin's page, shortened by Fanaticism and Burst of Speed and lengthened by Holy Freeze, chill and Slows Target but not by Decrepify; its table runs from 5 frames at +50 to 60 at −85. Nothing but the skill level changes the chance.
No synergies: the row has no SymPerCalc column, the skilldesc row has no dsc3 line, and no skill reads Avoid's points. The chance reads lvl, so +skills count in full. The Basin's page notes that only the Amazon and her Valkyrie have this skill.
Avoid deals no damage and takes none, so the player-versus-player damage rule has nothing to cut, see Player versus Player. The Basin's page says nothing more about this skill against players; the roll works as above against a player's missile.
Written from the game's tables (build 3.3.93847) and the cited pages; a per-level table is computed from skills.txt and skilldesc.txt by the same evaluator the skill pages use. A “legacy rule” is a published engine rule no table proves; a “game table” is read from the table named. · Report incorrect data
