I've got two forms, both have the same dodging, and the same dex. The diamondback, the 1st tier form, dodges worse than the bobcat, 2nd tier form. I'm wondering if the dodging was nerfed by design, or if there's some sort of oops going on. I'll reply with logs fighting the same mob as both for comparison.

Diamondback dodges less than bobcat yes, but it has greater regeneration which is far superior to what the bobcat has to offer.
