miss chance...

what is the chance of a foe miss if i blind (90%) the foe + ward (50%) + hex (25%) + well (50% while hexed)?

90%. Then if they make that 90% miss roll, they make another 50% roll. If they make that one, they make a 25% roll. If they make that one, they make a 50% roll. If they make that one, they hit.
.. So according to my Windows calculator, their chance of hitting is .05625%.

So practically they can't hit you anyway...

The calculation might be off...I came up with something different.
(1-.90)*(1-.50)*(1-.50)*(1-.25) = 1.875%
Roughly 1 in 53 attacks should hit, so it's not surprising that the aatxes occasionally do damage, especially when facing multiples.

If you do your math as indicated it equals 2% exactly.
.1*.5*.5*.75 = .02 or 2%
You have to get lucky to get through those odds, but it can still happen as the number of attempts increases.

.05*.5=.025
.025*.75=.01875

Maybe your calculator is set to round to the nearest hundredth?

Yup, It was set to 2 decimal places. Stupid calculator, stupid, stupid. I did it like 5 times (which makes me insane) before I figured that out.
BUT... doesnt Guild Wars round everything down anyway?
