The secret to balancing evasion

Moar life blah blah blah same shit I've said many times.

Honestly I'm starting to feel Eva/ES is stronger than pure Eva because of the eb/mom interaction. Avoid the majority of hits and basically 30% mitigation. Also the extra mana makes AA a breeze to run.

if you can't watch video, it's a slam from 6877 HP down to 12.

EVA user either takes no damage in this situation or oneshot without questions.

Oh loo ksomeone has a build with 7k HP and survives vaal smashes. Let's see that happen at 6k... Oh wait. It won't.

One guy, in one situation, lucked out. Wow.

What don't you understand in "evasion needs a bigger life buffer" ? ( not much, just a little bit more ).
What don't you understand in the fact that Vaal Smashs are actually not supposed to be tanked ?

Everything can be tanked. But generally the problem has very little to do with evasion or armor because it's elemental.

It can be, it doesn't meant that it should be, as Autochton said, the guy was lucky to survive, because if it's a xxxx-xxxx damage, then 12 HPs is ridiculously low on such a scale.

I agree on the fact that elemental damage is the main threat though.

let's not change definitions in the middle of discussion, shall we?

"If an agttack would kill an evaison character in one shot it will also kill ANY REASONABLY COMPARABLE ARMOUR CHARACTER."

so "REASONABLY COMPARABLE" now means "with less HP"?
come on, guys!

i've even wasted 5 minutes of my life proving that statement above is wrong

It's about security, plenty of times Vaal and Dominus do their one shots without any animation or with a horrible desync.

Same as with hard hitting monsters in hard rolled maps, you won't feel 60 hits, but when one hits, it's game over, and if that happens once every day or two (in higher level characters, lets say that those get 5-10% a day with 5+ hours of play time).

It's not acceptable, unless you're going to reroll every 2+ damage mod map.

The risk isn't worth it, same as with boss fights, why are people skipping? Why not? Risk isn't worth it, even if you have 1% chance of dieing.

I'd feel safe with evasion if I had 12k+ life, but that's just me.

Enter Spell Block!

Sucks, because flat probability, but there is nothing better. :^)
