You don't need evasion self buff or evasion passive now to be tanky with evasion. Your class just needs decent base eva, an evasion offhand, and the new juiced crystals.
tanky vs who? drakanias lol? succ sages lol ? valk buffed peoples mainraids with few accurracy accessories lol?
sure, its noob stomper build thats super effective vs undergeared people but i would really call it tanky considering what else exists, has actual good class mods and is REALLY tanky.
I mean its pretty simple. Give the same class the same AP/DP and make one evasion and one accuracy. One will live, one will die if knocked down.
As it is at the moment, Evasion is a crutch for players. A substitute for skill essentually because you get rewarded for being CC'd and knocked down by not dying, where as DR players have the opposite effect.
I think the issue though isnt with Evasion/Accuracy, the problem is that evasion players hit way too hard for the amount they can easily stack. It's a damage issue. But PA's fixes for all classes is just "Give it more damage" and therefor the cycle will never end.
In my opinion since probably 75% of the later game players are using evasion in uncapped, one would think that you would see a trend. Why do so many players use evasion? It's not that hard to understand.
