Didn't expect the boss fight to be that laggy. My apologies if it's frustrating to watch.
Note to self: don't do double boss in crema again.

It is probably true however that although one heavy hit might instagib you - that heavy hit which may be capable of instagibbing you would pretty much also instagib an armour user.


No, armor is more powerful than ever with jade flasks stacking with granites (IR)

Dominus smash or vaal smash needs extra dmg, extra ele, -max and vuln all together to kill high hp armor tanks

That's not armor. That's IR. Armour users go for armor gear. IR users go for evasion gear, use grace and pretend they're armour users. jade flask + granite stacking is one of the reasons why that keystone is broken and needs a rework. Still trolling the forums eh amazingjojo/ancalagon?

IR *is* armor ... derp. Armor users with 1 point spent in IR, you dont rly need grace either anymore for big armor. Determination scaling with aura increase nodes and granite / jade and lioneye / rare shield + shield defenses = TONS of armor.

And what makes you think I am trolling? I'm only saying the truth

whatever you say. Thanks for the free bumps.

Its embarassing to have to correct an alpha member with more toons and playtime than me

Its not worth my time trying to argue with a troll who doesn't attempt to take into account every single other aspect of a build: ie dps, hp/ehp, stats ratings on gear etc when trying to make comparisons and resorts to using arbitrary knowledge and assumed values in order to try and establish a case for debate.

DPS got nothing to do with survivability. There isnt much difference between an armor build and IR build in terms of final numbers, and because most builds that use armor are in that part of the tree and have evasion on gear too, and space to run grace most of the time. And with the advent of jade flasks, even more reason to take it. IR is broken? Probably, but it doesnt change the facts as of now, since its in the game in that state and been for a while, so its probably intended. IR shouldnt be nerfed, evasion should be buffed. You are trying to distinguish between the 2 (IR and armor) when they are really the same in today's wraeclastian adventures. Few and far in between builds that use armor gear dont take IR. You can also get very high armor without IR, anyways. I just wanted to say that your statement is completely false, armor-focused builds are not prone to the same oneshots that avoidant-focused builds are. I'll take armor over evasion any day of the week, even moreso because generally armor will always have more hp than evasion builds (more str, left side of the tree having all the best and well spaced %hp nodes ... you cant deny this ... and when was the last time you saw a pure eva mara or duelist?)

I disagree - the higher your DPS, the lesser the amount of time you are required to take hits from mobs and hence the lesser amount of damage you receive.

I disagree. IR builds use evasion gear not armour gear. Armour builds are templars/maras, most of whom will not venture into the duelist area to grab IR if they want to optimise their DPS at the same time.

IR is broken, that I can agree with. IR shouldn't even exist in the game. It's a trash keystone. It's the equivalent of a keystone converting all ES into life. That's how broken it is.

Not to me, never to me, never will.

That is the only part I agree with - that HP nodes are on the left when in fact evasion users need it more.

Note however that my statement had nothing to do with evasion. It's acrobatics versus armour. Acrobatics/Phase acrobatics requires only 6 points investment and requires 0 investment in gear. I can just rely on the rest of my points to stack up on hp and dps completely - which is pretty much what I did in this build.

I have seen one high level HC/nem pure evasion melee duelist actually. However, I agree that it is rare in the current state of the game - not because it sucks against attacks, but because it is useless against physical spells, which GGG has kindly implemented into the game. Either way, there is still always EC + IC.
