I just came back to DR yesterday after a long absence, and I am back-training shield, target and light blunt in ship rats, when I noticed the rats are hitting me through me 60 evasion, 51 defense and so on. Is this the new normal, or is there something that I'm doing wrong that's leaving me exposed? The rats aren't hurting me, but I'm worried what will happen when I go back to hunting reavers or beisswurms or something, if I can get hit in rats.
There were only 2 rats on me.

Evasion: 61
Defense: 58
Shield: 22
Stance 100 evasion : 80 shield

Specifically:
"In addition, all attacks have a small chance to both miss and hit, regardless of any difference in skill between the attacker and defender."
There's also a lot of good information there on other combat changes.

I've fought for over two hours getting up to good hits on me and been okay. (Mostly brushing or glancing hits) It takes awhile to get used to getting hit a lot. When you hunt in areas that you get hit every couple of attacks you get to mind locked very fast!
I do eat herbs while hunting in those areas which really helps me keep going. Once I get a bleeder I'm out.
I was in an area with split difficulty critters, keep 2 or 3 of the lower circle critters and 1 or 2 of the higher level critters and it trains really really well.
