assurance rune

could someone explain how does assurance rune work? (in this case epic assurance used for the theory)

cuz some of my friends who r casters r saying that assurance rune doesnt work
for pvp for casters I rofled but hell maybe I m wrong,so I m just wondering Glitch

lvl 85 vs lvl 85 same skills (just my theory)

1 of them has 100 DDs shoot and no assurance rune and the other one has also 100 DDs shoot (epic assurance rune equiped 10% to hits)

whats the math on this? :P

how many hits will player 1 have and how many hits will player 2 have?

any feedback is appriciated

... i iz that friend that said assurance doesnt work meaning that i do rather PAIN RUNE instead of ASSURANCE in pvp, since pvp chances to hit oponent are same % ever since jeff made the patch that lvls dont matter in pvp.. so we were discussing would u put assurance or pain? he says assurance > pain , i said pain > assurance.

Assurance would > pain vs black mobs cause of teh % of hitting is way lower.

dont mind San,just answer my question plox

Assurance works:
for example, against white mobs, we have base 75% accuracy, so 25% miss chance, assurance gives us 8% (4++) less miss chance, so 25-8%= 23 % to miss. so in the end you have 77% accuracy against white mobs.
Against blacks base accuracy is 50%, so 8% bonus will give more accuracy.

How it works in pvp, and what is base accuracy, we never know, so imposible to calculate

I am also interested in this question.

Unlike melees and archers, casters, in pvp, start with a base chance of 100% to hit (not including any skills). This number could theoretically be brought down to 1% with all that mitigation so what neo is trying to ask is how does this rune work? Is it wastefully applied to the starting base chance or is it applied after, allowing casters to hit at a minimum of ~9% (with r4 rune)?

i think it only works for resists. so things like prevent, growl and possibly resist gems? arnt effected by assurance.

im with san, ive never noticed assurance working in PvP. in PvE its hard to notice but it does have some small effect.

i personally (as a 2h piercer) use the Crit rune instead of the assurance
