Nice graphs and data.
Questions i have are (maybe someone did experiments) whether anything else besides evade and mob type influences mob hit rate. In specific:
* do you get hit less if you move a little bit (e.g. walk backwards) as mob hits you? (without running faster than mob)
* do you get hit less if you damage mob -- it might be a coincidence but to me it always felt like once i start fapping (instead of hitting mob) i get hit more often.
* what happens if 2 of same mobs hit you at the same time -- do you get hit 2x more on average?
* Does successful mob hit rate depend on how heavy you are?
Those are all good questions, but i haven't directly tested any of them. I know that some here will say that #2 is a definite yes, but my feeling is that you don't -- and i do a lot of fapping while hunting.
Also, the same for #3.
Number 1 i feel might be true, but i think it's more likely an unintended programming defect if so (for example, you occasionally are momentarily out of the mob's hit range when it attacks if you back up).
These are all quite hard to test because of the "dynamic" variation in the hit rate over seconds and minutes and maybe more.
