The test was originally to check to see if Weapon Skill was causing -0.1% dodge/parry rate per level. I had 360 weapon skill during the test against level 62 mobs (310 defense). I got a whole bunch of parries, and a single dodge. So, the theory of -0.1% per point of weapon skill against lower level opponents isn't the right one unless bonus skill (Weapon Expertise) is counted differently than innate skill.
The percentages from this test are NOT really worth very much because:
A) I am mace specced, which means that even with just autoattacks, the guys ended up stunned for long periods
B) Needlers have a spell they cast periodically. When players are casting, they can't dodge, block, or parry. I'm unsure if this is also true for mobs, but assuming it is, then I got free hits in during this time.
I'll try this conceptual test again with 350 weapon skill against level 60s to try to verify Punscho's data.
