Dodge or Block - Which is considered first
Hi,
So my question is: If you have a build with both dodge and block chance, which is considered first when an enemy attacks you?
In my mind it would make sense that dodge is first, because if a successful dodge occurs, the entire damage and effects of the hit would be ignored. After would come block, as this would result in a calculation to see how much damage you would take, regardless whether you block or not. Even with 100% in block and efficiency, and with no cap on this, a calculation would still have to be done to determine a 0 damage outcome? After this would come any other calculations like damage reduction etc?
Is anyone is able to provide an order that these stats are considered in?
The reason I ask, is because there are a number of passives activated when you block or dodge, and the order that these things happen in, would have quite an effect on their usefulness in a build that has both block and dodge as defenses. Branded burst and tenet stacks are one example. If block went first, you would be constantly getting hit, even if you blocked, and therefore your tenet stacks would always be low or 0, compared to if dodge was considered first.
Hope this makes sense. Any help greatly appreciated.
