what is a "good" evasion percentage?

Try to get at least 47.5% if you are pure evasion

Arrow dodging will double that to 95% vs projectiles, and that's the maximum evasion. Archers and snakes become a complete joke.

It doesn't work like that. It has been stated that AD gives you a second evasion roll versus projectiles (so it's a multiplication, not an addition).

Not only is that incorrect, it also would make it even more powerful against ranged attacks, since at an actual evasion chance of 50% or higher you would be literally immune to projectiles.

Evasion lets you evade attacks with elemental damage, and so you don't just mitigate physical, plus you don't get status ailments for each evasion. There is an entropy system which increases the odds of an evade for each time you get hit. So evasion prevents several successive hits in a row. You get more spiky damage, but in the end-game, it's much better than the almost useless armor protection.

Good post. I've been saying this for a while now. Most people just laugh and say evasion is useless compared to armor.

If you want to go evasion though you need a high health pool, because it will be spikey.

The way i see evasion, it is insanely OP...

First of all stack evasion, second stack some block% in there (this wil effectively reset ure evasion vs a certain monster because it wil be counted as a "hit" therefore reseting ure evasion rating vs him) third of all u can throw in some armor/endurance charges/acrobatics

This all combined, i think people who dismiss evasion just dont have any insight into the mechanics.

Evasion was designed not to dodge a milion hits, but to reduce incomming damage at a lower rate(lets say 1/5 hits wil hit, this wil make ure EHP insane...also like some1 already said, if u dodge a fysical/elemental hit u wil effectively evade the whole attack)

I think evasion/acrobatics/endurance charges, is probably one of the easyest defensive
set-ups to be acomplished in this game...

Been stated by whom? A dev?

Because the wiki says AD exactly doubles your chance to evade a given projectile. If your chance to evade would've been 45%, it becomes 90%.

I have to double check, I might be actually wrong here and my memory misleading. Digging further but for now I retract the statement and apologize.
