Acrobatics is beyond borderline Bad!

To be fair, there is a good chance that the people using acrobatics is using it for a timeless jewel keystone. Unless poeninja fixed that.

It was used in tota for the cheese builds.

In my mind it could have some use cases with ward/evasion.

Its certainly not popular as a defensive keystone. But then again neither is eternal youth and there are some interesting builds enabled/strengthened significantly by that keystone.

Perhaps op, you/we just don't know a great application for it.

Yes, I don't. Ik PoE is extremly complex and unplayable stuff at first glance could prove playable at another glance, but Acrobatics takes the cake for me.

Acrobatic IS bad

but mostly due to price (direct and opportunity cost)

75% Acro is the same avoidance as 75% spell block BUT:

- blocked hits can trigger stuff, avoiding them - cannot. this is the first serious difference.

- price. capping spell block got much cheaper in recent patches

- suppression is THE best defensive mechanic in the game bang-per-buck. replacing is always going to replace better with worse

so yeah, avoidance or not - it is just bad. and ALL characters ive checked on ninja used this keystone for timeless jewel.. maybe there are exceptions but ive stopped after 5th

that makes sense, thx for clarifying!

I'm using it currently with the wildspeaker suppress ascendency. It's working pretty well. I see what people are saying when they knock it, but I still think it has a place in the game.

I think it's a pretty fine line with it being balanced, considering that back before spell suppression it was only 30%, without the extra cost.

Maybe what it could use is some utility that makes it benefit of the fact you aren't getting hit and makes it less all or nothing, like evasion does or lucky block rolls. I think it can be strong on the right builds though, looks to be getting some use.
