It's on a weapon. There are a lot of mods that are local to the weapon (or armour piece) if they're on that item, but the same wording on a different item is actually a totally different mod and is global. Can't be evaded is one of those. It can be a bit confusing.

Not sure I understand correctly...
On The Tempestuous Steel, it says "Hits can't be evaded". It doesn't say: "Hits with this weapon can't be evaded".
So to me this should mean that with this weapon, any skill you use, that "Hit", can't be evaded, regardless of where the skills are socketed.

Am I wrong or? Cause if that's not the case, their wording is complete trash (sorry for the language).

The general rule (which has exceptions, unfortunately) is: if the mod would make sense to have on a white item with no other modifiers, it is local to the item.

"Hits can't be Evaded" would work just fine as a local mod on a white weapon. Thus it is local when found on a weapon.
"Hits can't be Evaded" does not make sense for a white shield. Shields don't Hit. So it is a global mod on a shield.

The "Your" makes no difference. "You" or "Your" is not a keyword that means anything in PoE.



For another example, think of "increased Physical Damage" on a weapon and "increased Physical Damage" on a Rustic Sash. First is local (and applies only to Attacks with that weapon), second is global (and applies to any Physical Damage you deal, including with Spells). Again, same wording, local on one item and global on another.
