Avoidance Theory parts 2

Avoidance in PvP

Avoidance level is not an absolute factor, the inflicted damage is a balance between your avoidances and avoidance-negating skills of the attacker.

The final damage that other avatars are able to inflict to you depends on:

• the weapon they use (weap. max damage & avatar eff. level with this weapon)
• your avoidances
• attacker's avoidance-penetrating skills (probably skills like: Aim, Accurate Eye, etc)
• your armor

PvP armor calculations

At the moment the highest damage weapon anyone can use at 100% effectiveness (90%-100%) is Kulak F2000.

Maximum damage of this weapon is 78 points.

Penetration damage

There is no ammunition that can do only pure penetration damage.

Therefore maximum possible penetration damage is  78 : 2 = 39 points

Consequently S45 penetration armor is useless in PvP, S40 pene armor always blocks all penetration damage.

The same holds true for every damage type, there is only 1 exception -

Electrical damage

Only single-dmg ammunition atm is E-ammo

Maximum electric damage in PvP is 78 points.

At the same time electric avoidance is one of the highest avoidances for most avatars.

Burn damage

Maximum possible burn damage in PvP is 39 points.

It is the lowest avoidance for every avatar, therefore burn damage is one of the most effective damage types in PvP.

Best PvP armor atm is dual-protection armor, electric/penetration if your burn, cold, fragmentation and acid avoidances are equal and burn/penetration, if burn is lower.
