Elusive

Elusive

Buff

You have increased Movement Speed, and additional chance to Dodge Attacks and Spells. This buff's effects are reduced over time.

Elusive is a buff which grants attack and spell dodge and movement speed. It grants a large amount of dodge chance and movement speed when it is first applied, and the effectiveness of it decays over time. In most cases, you must wait for Elusive to expire before you can re-apply it at full strength.

Mechanics

Elusive grants the following:

• 15% chance to Dodge Attack Hits
• 15% chance to Dodge Spell Hits
• 30% increased Movement Speed

Unlike most other effects, Elusive loses its effectiveness over time, at a rate of 20% per second, and lasts until it decays to 0% effectiveness. This causes Elusive to have its duration be based on its buff effect. Modifiers to skill effect duration will not affect the duration of Elusive, but buff effects will.

You cannot refresh the effectiveness of Elusive by reapplying it. You must wait until Elusive expires to be able to reapply Elusive again. The only exception to this is Withering StepWithering StepTravel, AoE, Chaos, Movement, Blink, Spell, Duration
