Ya as someone who enjoys awk ranger more I might swap to evasion just to have the ability to take more hits while I sit in my lingering super armor. but as any ranger knows even with evasion CC = you are dead. Personally I think the biggest help AWK can get from PA right now would be an evasion passive. Our Q buff is good but it only lasts for so long. having the ability to scale with it would make her more relevant in bigger fights rather then strictly 1v1s. I pray PA eventually gives awk ranger this.
but even going evasion I am a twig if I dont build more into it with minimal a centaur belt and evasion offhand prob also a protection stone. The thing with the game now is I can swap crystal sets on the fly there is no Shot that the 25 additional accuracy from bhegs is gonna make running evasion any worse then DR when playing Succ. succ ranger is positioning if you position wrong you are dead whether you have DR or evasion you get 1 tapped for even breathing.
So for me I think it makes sense to swap to it because I like awk more and I can sit on my copium until maybe one day awk ranger gets the evasion passive she desserves. but saying that 25 acc and minimal DR boost will be the difference of me living and dying in Succ in capped wars I just doubt it.
Just stay DR if you are focus on succ ranger. Your theories make sense in you head, but on the field no. Just damage, a ranger that doesnt damage is just a wasted slot. -ranger since launch. Evasion only viable if you value 1v1 awakening over anything.
edit to say that unless you have 1100+ evasion, even a normal no accuracy acc build will have 100% hitrate vs you. Put your numbers in garmoth and see.
I'm a new player, so correct me if i wrong
I think succ ranger has no real "which defence type is better" discussion. Consider it just 0 defence whatever you do.
And with this thought in mind go to the real thing : your firepower (and speed).
The choice of gear (theoretically defensive one) for succ ranger has one goal : have max attack power / (have minimum negative impact on the attack power)
So if evasion gear goes with some ap / accuracy tradeoffs, it is against you ultimate goal as succ ranger - kill the enemy before he can approach/react/do something against you.
You are tanking by your dps/burst. A dead enemy does 0 damage, so if you manage to kill him fast enough, your dp /dr /eva is irrelevant
