Give us a keystone that works like Petrified Blood/Progenesis please – or bake it into Evasion

Pure evasion will never be viable in a game with one-shots unless there's a way to amortize incoming damage, because it's all or nothing. This was such an issue in PoE 1 that Petrified Blood basically became mandatory for pure evasion builds if I'm not mistaken.

Armor and energy shield can help by absorbing incoming damage (ES soaks up anything but chaos, or anything with CI, while armor reduces all phys). With evasion, though, you either avoid damage entirely or you take it all. And when damage is tuned around being dangerous to characters with ES and/or armor, it will be DEADLY to those without it.

By allowing pure evasion builds to say "well, when I DO get hit, I'm going to mitigate that by turning a big chunk of that hit into a DOT", you allow them to survive.

Now obviously that needs to come with a downside. Petrified Blood has a reservation cost, makes it impossible to heal above low health by any means other than flasks, and adds a health cost to skills while you're above low health. Progenesis is a flask so it has limited uses. The most straightforward drawback would probably be that the DOT ends up doing more damage than it saves you up front – so it protects you from one-shots but you'll expend more resources staying alive from smaller hits.

true and real i have no idea why theyve removed the utility flasks in favor of some dumb charms

Blood mage witch has a progenisis ascendency point

Wow! That's so useful for evasion characters...
