My DH has been the only character I've played since DIII and safe to say, these are the list of things we can and cannot dodge:

Dodge-able
- Physical attacks (Melee and Ranged)
- Frozen, during its burst
- Thunderstorm
- Mortar
- Electrified

Not Dodge-able
- Desecrator ticks
- Frozen ticks
- Frozen Pulse ticks
- Orbiter ticks
- Jailer (per hit)
- Fire Chain (per hit)
- Plagued ticks
- Poison Enchanted ticks
- Arcane Enchanted ticks
- Reflect Damage

On a sidenote: Champion packs of 6 with Illusionist and Nightmarish is overpowered as heck. Throughout the whole 3 minutes of battle with them, I spent 2 minutes+ running away involuntarily from the Nightmare effect, which the Illusions also have >_>

Actually, fire chains are dodgeable...just that the damage is massive and usually a non-melee toon will insta KO.
At least, I don't notice any dodge working for me as I keep track of how much my HP drops per tick of skills and attacks by mobs.

Hmm..Thunderstorm dodgeable? I don't think so.
Yes, since Thunderstorm ticks for about 1 per second, it was easy to observe the damage. And I've seen my character's 'dodge' message when a melee-type champion pack used thunderstorm from far away to hit me.

Also to expand certain physical damage is non dodgeable -eg the big hammer monster in act 4 or act 2 spinning wraiths in act 2. (sorry cant remember the names..lel)

Sledgehands' mighty arm stomp attacks are dodge-able, just not as frequent as we would have noticed it.

See my reply to Quaza on the sledge hand. Also on the stun white mob...

Its been tested bro. There is NO rule that says only DoT damage is undodgeable. I tested thunderstorm on a MoE -backlash mon..it never procs bro hence can assume it never dodged.

Firechain -easy test just run between the fire chain and you can see the word dodged popping out.

It could be an unmentioned fix then that causes these to no longer be dodge-able, because I stack a lot of DEX to have an average of 40 - 42% dodge @ lvl 70.

i think i managed to get about 50-60+% dodge at ROS lvl70, with about 9.8k dex or something

but as usual lol RNG
sometimes i take ZERO dmg from RG Maiden, sometimes i flat out went dead even with NDE popped NMGH doh.gif doh.gif

I'm only up to 9.3k, and my dodge is now 42 - 43%. I'm DH, so I have no naturally dodge passives to boost it up.

I don't mind taking serious hits, but we don't have enough DPS to make-up for our tofuness.

We'd have to give up DPS to be a little more tankier, and vice versa. At least in DII, DPSers can forgo much of its defensiveness to deal better DPS. If we do that in DIII, we're all walking OHKOers.

Well, let's see what 2.1.0 really has in store. Most of the DH's passives are shitty if you don't synergize well with your equips.

We're good at single-target DPSing, but we're not so good in AoE. At least, from my experience with how Blizzard has 'balanced' this class throughout the vanilla through RoS days.
