Dex becomes increasingly *better*, unless my math sucks (which is entirely possible).

Say a boss hits 10 times over 2 seconds. With 20% dodge, you are hit (on average) 8 out of 10 times. With 30%, you are hit 7 out of 10. With 40%, you are hit 6 times out of 10.

8 hits vs. 7 hits is a reduction in hits taken of 12.5%. 6 hits vs. 7 hits is a reduction in hits taken of 14.29%. 5 hits vs. 6 hits is even better: 16.67%. Going from 5 hits to 4 is 20% less hits. Assuming you can hit 100% dodge, you become unhittable. I doubt that's possible, though.

DODGE gets increasing returns, but DEX does not.

100 DEX = 10% dodge
500 DEX = 20% dodge
1000 DEX = 30% dodge
2000 DEX = 40% dodge

So going from 10% to 40% nets you 33% less damage taken (6 instead of 9 hits out of 10), but costs you 1900 DEX instead of 100.

Dex still gets increased returns within the different tiers, since it increases at a linear rate until the tier changes. Above 1000 Dex, every point of Dex increases your dodge% by exactly the same percentage.

Between 0 to 100 Dex, 1 point of Dex is worth more at 99 than it is at 1. At 100, it changes to a new standard, but each point is still worth exponentially more than the previous.
