Iron reflexes with acrobatics (tailwind too)

When the 50% less armor from acrobatics, is it taken from your base armor (before iron reflexes converts evasion to armor)?

Also, the +1000 ER from tailwind is adding 1000 armor at the very end, or does that 1k get modified by other evasion rating buffs before being changed into armor
Depending on the answer I might put an intuitive leap jem right above it to get the doge and phase acrobatics.


And another thought, chance to block would (ideally) be non applicable to a pure Dex evasion ranger right? Since you'd most likely have nothing giving chance to block in the first place right?

Acrobatics is applied to total current armour value. So it's done after iron reflexes.

Evasion Rating from tailwind is modified by both armour and evasion modifiers as long as you have Iron reflexes.

About the idea of mixing block with stacked evasion. Not actually a great idea as you claim. Mostly many people rely on one/few forms of defence. Of course increasing them is better but costly and that's the main issue.

And yea block will not manifest that greatly with evasion but it will sure helps anyway. If you can do it without much cost of gear/tree/etc... do it.
But in my opinion dodge is actually better. You either choose between dodge and block anyway due to acrobatics.
However an idea to stand against damage that would bypass both dodge and evasion is mitigation which can be provided in many ways.

Ah ok so then I assume %increased armor and %increased evasion converted via iron reflexes stack additively not multiplicly?

Am i an idiot or a genius for trying to bypass acrobatics and get phase acrobatics? I'm trying for a poison / bleed ranger Pathfinder bows only so i will want to head bottom middle for poison bleed bow, putting me by iron reflexes and that -50% armor is brutal. Since I'm going armor over evade should I just scrap the Dodge altogether? It makes sense to bolster evade with Dodge and not care about that -50%
in case rngesus says enemy 5% cth will crit you, rolls a Dodge instead

Every modifier that says "increased" is additive.

You want high Evasion combined with dodge/spell dodge but if you really want to build around armour and get Phase Acro too you can consider to get The Perfect Form body and convert Evasion via Iron Reflexes.

You can benefit from molten shell / Vaal molten shell then (with high armour).
You can still get an extra dodge/spell dodge from gear

or from Vaal Grace

Even block is possible without sacrificing armour

Wow thank you so much for recommending that armor, that must be crazy expensive though right

In fact it´s quite cheap (a couple of chaos orbs) unless it´s already 6-linked (most of the 6-linked unique items are rather "expensive" though)
The prices may differ according to platform/realm though.

I'll be buying that instead of the viper plate male. Got ripped from desync in the meantime so I'm not starting again until the next patch hits lol
