Hotfix 1.0.0.3a fixes evade chance to rarely not apply the 50% damage reduction and fixing a recursion on latest updates that will interfere with the dpad node jump for controller in the skilltree.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed evasion chance rarely not applying the 50% damage reduction. I think this should be fixed now, but if you still get no damage reduction anytime while on 100% evasion chance, please report it so that I can digg deeper.
  
• Fixed dpad node jump for controller in the skilltree stopped working for some controllers due to a recursion in one of the latest updates.
