Can you evade without dexterity?

This probably sounds like a stupid question, but like everyone, I always run the dexterity mastery. I just turned it off for a lane in Act 6.3.6, E.M.P. Modification, that deals passive shocks based on buffs you've had.

Now the reason I'm asking this question, is I've been wrecked by Lady Thor and Storm specials constantly. These are specials I've always been able to evade with my eyes closed, and now that I've turned off the dexterity mastery, I'm getting wrecked by everything.

Anyone have any thoughts? Are you not able to evade when dex is off? Does Kabam secretly tweak timing of specials from that of routine content?

I think without dex you can’t dex stuff

IKON

You can't evade projectiles without dexterity. Things like Lady Thor SP1 and Storm SP2 will hit you if you try to evade them without dex.

You can't evade projectiles without dexterity. Do you have RGuardian?

Without dex, I think you can still dex with Invisible Women

Thanks guys. That explains it I guess.

@Vendemiaire I do, but I'm past event horizon now. LOL! Just turned dex back on. Fortunately I have Ghulk on my roster for it, so the passive shocks aren't terrible. Just needs the rest of my team til I get to CAIW.

thats what dex does lol. without it you cant dodge stuff

@Thicco_Mode That's pretty apparent now. I always assumed the evasion still worked, but you just didn't get the crit buff without the dex mastery.

Thicco_Mode

ah that's a fair assumption. that would be great but unfortunately not

Gardener

you can dex physical contact attacks like a punch without dex but u cant dex projectiles like iron mans beam without dex
