Evasion level 1 to end game (after the evasion changes )

So i decided to start pure evasion build on ssf now
Just reached lvl 89 completely fresh nothing in bank
PURE EVASION feels Bad super bad
Early game it's kind of meh "fine" the more u progress towards end game the more u feel it's just garbage completely garbage
A specially when u start farming t15 blue maps u can feel how bad it's actually is
U removed playing whit zero defenses
Deflect is just non exciting in early end game
Getting evasion is super hard a specially if u dont have "tail wind"

Ur getting one tapped by bosses left and right
Abyss mobs dash to u and slash u instantly
+spam a ton of aoe atks that u can't doodge

Essence corrupted mobs : did anyone even test how terrible is to fight them whit evasion build?(mobs spam 10 thousands skills at the same time 80% of them aoe who created this ?!)

On ssf u can really feels how bad is evasion when u dont have access to market to buy jewels whit evasion% and amulet whit double evasion stat (base+%)

Progressing whit evasion build feels horrendous
We need higher evasion % on atls tree and triple the number of deflection granted by evasion %
And deflection dmg prevented must be higher.
Overall progress from lvl 1 to early t15 maps is a painful experience
And not fun at and not fun at all .
Evasion need alot of love .

Devs can u shift ur ur ideology for a moment from "how do i kil the player" TO " how can a player survive the hordes of mobs thousands of aoe skill and 10k hits from players on all 3 defensive mechanics we have?"

You can try Connor's build. It was my first bow build ever in poe2, and I can tank pretty much everything up to t15 corrupted. You can stand in almost everything. All you need is some energy shield and the "Ghost dance" spirit gem.

I can't find his char on poe.ninja anymore, but my trash 30 divine Amazon might help you understand the build.

I'm talking about pure evasion &deflect builds not hybrid builds

evasion does nothing on most bosses

Not only bosses , evasion does nothing against abyss rares does nothing against corrupted essences does nothing against bosses
At this stage of the game there is no point to play evasion at all

What's your ascendancy? I'm running a pure evasion melee Pathfinder. I'm only in yellow maps with her, but she's tanky because as a Pathfinder you can put evasion toward elemental DR.

I'm expecting to hit a ceiling, don't get me wrong. I'm sure ES or hybrid ES is better. But it's been going better than I expected.

Currently on a ritualist

I am pure evasion and do not get one-shot. I do have a lot of deflection and evasion on everything including amulet, jewels, and rings. I have a few skill tree nodes invested into Blind as well. There's also Wind Dancer in addition to recoup life affix on gear if you need it.

Blind is a game-changer for high-endgame content imo.

Evasion is great until you get hit.

Deflection is a good idea, but it may need some improvement. Maybe boost the reduction 10-15% or something.
