Deflection is a skill of artfully avoiding incoming attacks partially in combat by last minute turning your body, guiding the attack away from you with your weapon or just by pure graceful movement. Deflected attacks still hit you, dealing most of their damage and any other effects they carry, but the deflection lessens the damage somewhat.

This skill scales the chance of deflecting an attack. The damage reduction is a static percentage from the attack's damage, which may possibly be scaled through other means.
