Game Mechanics: Deftdance - not auto-dodge

[ezri]

I have a bard that has just recently just hit lv55.

The three or four times I've hit Deftdance it has not been auto-dodging; the first time I was summoned and assume something hit me from behind; but the other times I've made sure that the monsters were standing directly in front of me; and every time I've used it I've not dodged an attack once within those 18 seconds.

Auto duel-wield seems to work fine but mobs in front of me aren't meant to be able to hit me for 18 seconds. My dodge skill is 140;


This is the furthest information going back to 2003 I could find.
