Overpowered Shadow Build

I just discovered how overpowered the "Arrow Dodging" passive is on my lvl 34 shadow, and thought i would share it.

I fraps'ed this with a trial so its only shows a short duration, but basicly i fraps'ed it. Uploaded it to youtube, and made this post while the archers are shooting at me.
And its not regular archers but those blue named ones. I have 49% chance to evade, and arrow dodging doubles that for projectiles.... Overpowered?

Know its probably gonna get nerfed, and this post will most likely make them nerf it, but im really hoping they dont. Its these overpowered builds that D3 is missing.

Enjoy!

Im still uploading it, should be done in a few mins for anyone trying to watch it. (Sorry)

I love Arrow Dodging. Not sure it requires nerfing...the passive is pretty short and simple, and it had to be clear that people would use it to become practically immune to projectile attacks if they chose to build in such a manner. I don't see that type of behavior as "abusing" the talent, rather it's taking advantage of the full potential it provides.

The Titicus Span shield, especially when combo'ed with spell block is also very powerful.

Since there is 1000 threads how evasion sucks and this is first i saw that say evasion is OP, i don't think they'll nerf it :).

I haven't had a try with it in PvP yet since the lvl 28 cap. But if its the same in there shadows should bring cookies for archers getting pwned.

Not possible in lvl 28.
Well I guess maybe if you spend all your points to get there, but nobody would do that lol... they'd just roll mara to be closer :P

Bear in mind, though, that the displayed chance to evade is an estimate given an enemy of your level - while you're correct that at 47.5% evasion and above you're capping your evasion versus projectiles, that 47.5% may well be harder to get to against dexterity-aligned (and therefore accurate) archers than the character screen tells you.

The character sheet is intended to display defensive estimates based on what you're actually fighting, once they get around to coding this.

Wait, an Evasion-based keystone that isn't Iron Reflexes is working really well?

And you fear it might be nerfed?

...yeah, no. :)

PS all jokes aside, I've been a huge fan of AD from the start. Anything that says 'double' and 'evasion' has to be pretty damn good, and it's one of the few evasion-based keystones that has an immediately noticeable effect -- Acrobatics/Phase Acrobatics are much harder to notice, and instead contribute to the overall performance of your damage avoidance in conjunction with high evasion, blocking and maybe things like Temporal Chains.

Arrow Dodging is wonderful and there's a reason it's out in the boonies of the Skilldrasil.
