Evasion---Hard Counters with nothing to recounter
"That's an ineffective measure, because of the way AR scales in the first place. At "normal" values of damage AR is a %Dr effect, at arbitrarily high vales of damage it becomes +Flat HP effect. They don;t need to scale in the same way. Nevermind that there are at least two ways to scale your EV without needing to invest in EV nodes. One of which provides massively more defensive returns for an EV user than for an AR user. IGN - PlutoChthon, Talvathir

If you deem the 400 dex I got (350 from tree + a bit from gear) + 3 nodes with accuracy, that are literally on my way, to be too much of an investment, then you are asking for a free, high chance to hit. Player's accuracy already got buffed a lot in the patch that brought us the Ranger rework.
Seriously. If you think your crit char lacks accuracy, but don't want to spend any single passive on it, then pick the accuracy support with quality, raising your chance to crit as well.

" My crit character is not an eva+es hybrid, it is es+armor hybrid. My crit character does not lack accuracy, because I min-max. Accuracy support is a waste of link lol, it is better to get accuracy through helmet, ring and glove. Ondar's Guille is madantory if you go eva build, evidently. Stacking evasion without Ondar's Guille is not worth it compared to stacking armour due to the 0.8 exponent in the evade formula against the grand majority of lv77 enemies. The grace base is enough if you don't go iron reflexes; your effictive hp is multiplied throuh grace by 1.1981 against evadable attacks against 530 acc lv77 enemies.

Autocthon you talk about the AR phys character who gets mobbed and and "looses large chunks" of his health... Have you ever seen a SoulTaker/Cleaver? They absolutely wreck those "mobs". Their build is to have RT, Unwavering Stance, then walk on over to IR. The amount of passives they can get that are suited to the build is astounding just walking along that outside line. Berserking for attack speed, Diamond Skin for Elemental Resistance, tons of Axe passives, and lots of Str. Cloth and Chain which is right across from Riddle of Steel for all the armor bonus passives they need.
You say that armor users dont combine Grace/Determination/Iron Reflexs??? You should check out the FoTM.. With SoulTaker they need 0 mana for their skills. Add in a Bringer of Rain and you have crap ton of Armor once you take IR. Show me ANY successful Melee Evasion build that relies on actually evading skills and not on using IR because its far superior. Why is it far superior end game?? Because Reflect. Forget white mobs. We have to worry about our own attacks killing us. Because of low life and 0 damage mitigation we have to worry about stunning ourselves. BTW... after the evasion buff level 79 monsters still have an accuracy rating around 1048. Do you know how much Evasion you need to get to 50% chance to evade? 23,851. Do you know how near impossible it is to get that much evasion? And that just for a 50% chance. 50% Evasion, 30% Dodge Chance, 19% Block Chance (dual wielding + passives) and you still have a 28% chance to be hit... more than 1/4 chance. Remember.. every hit stuns you unless you have special necklace. IGN: DeathIsMyBestFriend, Illirianah

" You can even add in that some Melee AR that goes IR and spec out of US eventually to take advantage of Blind from BoR. I use Blind (24% chance to hit player) + Enfeeble to make all the bosses have a hard time hitting me and deal less damage on top of critting less often. Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game. - raics, 06.08.2016 Dernière édition par JohnNamikaze#6516, le 23 août 2013 à 18:33:34

" Exactly, if you have >4K HP, almost nothing will stun you. On my main, having TBoR @ ~7 APS and TS with Blind (~65% block chance), I'm blinding whole screen in blink of second. I even stopped to use curses (and anyway I don't have free gem slot :D). Anyway, for pure curiosity, I'm leveling an melee ranger, which will have this build @ level 77:

She will use 1H sword/dagger and shield. Reave/Double Stike. Will see if he she will be viable at least for 69-70 lvl maps with equipment I can spare for her (very good but not godly). And if it will be not viable, I can momentarily respec Acrobatics and go IR :) I will have exactly number of needed free respec points (I use some to exchange Primal Spirit for Mana Flows when I get to duelist area). Anticipation slowly dissipates... Dernière édition par tmaciak#3784, le 24 août 2013 à 02:07:45

Guys stop arguing with Autochthon the Evasion Messiah. In my eyes he is just a massive troll who hasnt done anything past lunaris with his evasion character. Vomiting numbers doesn't mean a thing in this game, sadly. When I asked him how he is doing in high level maps, all I got was 'working on it'.

" How so? if the original hit is from an attack, it can dodge an ele reflect yes. But with RT, or lioneyes, or checking your own accuracy against you, its highly unlikely to happen. " Hey still in docks? Dernière édition par mvm199#0755, le 24 août 2013 à 02:28:49

" I never had to worry about killing myself. I didn't take a single +crit node, so my crits do barely more damage than normal hits. Reflect enemies are no challenge at all. " Yeah, takes quite some investment, I agree. But we have Enfeeble. -69% Acc on a 20/20 gem. That's 41% / 34% against bosses. Helps a lot. Sorry Exile, but your loot is in another dungeon!

" Your build maybe :P but physical + reflect for high dpsers = OUCH, and with the way armor formula works and the fact an evasion build has lower armor, even more. And with evasion you can never really dodge it, in theory and on paper yes, in practice no since it uses your own accuracy check. RT / lioneye / high accuracy >>>> |
