If Spell Dodge so OP, then why no one plays evasion characters?

Well there's your problem... you're judging the strength of a build on popularity, not the actual strength of the build.

So you sacrifice up to 45% resistance for 14-16% dodge, and this is OP? Are you fucking kidding me.

Eh, we can always assume the uber-geared have their resistances capped on other pieces of equipment. When there's a cap, you're not really losing the res, you're just forced to put it elsewhere.

Still not OP.

depending on the build its actually remarkably hard to get max resists while still maintaining good affixes, especially for bow based builds.

Some comments here about these boots are purely wrong.

Nefing these boots? Dafuq?

Why Kaoms got nerfed or Bor ? Because they were MANDATORY for every life/melee build!

These boots are restricted to evasion only chars, because you have to take acrobatics/phase acrobatics. (50% less ES/Armour)

In comparison to achieve 50% Spellblock (which is EHP wise the same) you have to take a rathpith + stone of lazwhar and 16% block, i.e. the 2 block nodes in templar tree. You loose 1 HP spot (SoL) and a bit on rath (but rath stats are extremly good with spelldmg, hp AND 250 ES) and have same EHP vs att/spell then with this boots + phase acro. And still full armour and ES. So ?

Nerfing something, which is totally restricted to Eva only AND phase acro is purely retarded.

Btw.: How hard is it really to get good EVA/HP and good MS roll nowadays with the recipes for MS ? Not this hard.

Well not now, but with legacy Saffel's you can get 75% spell block from it alone and one spell block node in the Templar tree.

Why are people saying you need to spec phase acrobatics for these? This isn't true at all.

They literally make you immune to 15% of spells without the obvious drawbacks of acro/phase acro. Daresso's Defiance works the exact same way, but it's attack dodge and only 6%.

I stand by the notion that these boots are fecking ridiculous.

where are these boots on the wiki? cant seem to find them

Those boots are very good with Phase Acrobatics. Getting Phase Acrobatics requires getting Acrobatics. Getting Acrobatics essentially means not getting Iron Reflexes. Not getting Iron Reflexes is a drawback. Therefore, boots have a drawback and are not OP.

Unless you want to make an argument that Acrobatics was OP pre-1.1. Good luck with that.

I do appreciate the Acrobatics stealth-buff and Iron Reflexes stealth-nerf, however. Nice design, 9/10.

i'll make that argument - here go read my thread

where those boots are really nice i don't know if they overtake my darkray vectors for my build. my vectors give me a total of 40% movement speed, 16% dodge, 4% evasion, 38% lightning res, 11% physical dmg and 17% atk spd. to trade that all for spell dodge which i already have some of, eh im not sure.

if they are not very expensive then i would consider using them and slightly shift my defenses from physical (basically immune already) to spell, but since vectors are super cheap anyway (not many builds use them) i definitely prefer to buy a whole bunch and corrupt a nice implicit onto them.

these boots will most likely be very expensive thus not viable for me im comparison. that spell dodge again would and does work without a full evasion build tho, so im sure it will replace and gives a good alternative to spell block rainbowstride.
for those builds without a lot of block that can capitalize on spell block, these are a perfect and balanced addition
