POE acrobatics/evade/ondar's guile demonstration
" no offense, but that sucks ;-) my evade + grace is 41 and i'm level 57. but that's the point of this demo, isn't it ? i've already noticed this. went to farm fellshrine on my own, ran into a bunch of archers and just stood there. it was hilarious. |

let me necro this thread.
Few poeple here said "60% chance to dodge projectiles" - How? Ondar's guile applies to evasion, is there a way, to DODGE projectiles? I am playing dual claw life leeching shadow. At first, i tried vaal pact + Iron Reflexes, but then respeced it for much higher effective HP (10% HP regen + life leech + life flasks). This works much better with evasion than it worked with armor and i can imagine, that when i add DODGE, it's going to be much better. I use double strike + splash + multistrike + blind, with solid leech and big health pool i am taking merciless brute hits like a champ. Only think used for mitigation is enfeeble |

i may as well necro it too.
Funny where we are now compared to before. I want to take a moment, and remember that time when everyone was against evade and i was a noob archer trying to make it through tis game. Now, i feel evade is common enough :D. IGN: Omjak "THIS WORLD... IS AN ILLUSION EXILE". Last edited by Omjak_777#2685 on Feb 17, 2014, 10:18:01 AM

" my trapper is life/evasion/ondar's/acrobatics/phase acrobatics Works really well. As a melee build ? I'd die all the time. But as a trapper - it's fantastic. Ever run into a blue mob of machine guns ? They'll cut you to ribbons. I've lost 1/2 my very high life zombies to them because they are firing from off-screen and you die before you can get to them. The trapper doesn't even notice. Then put on AA and you are good to go. The problem, it seems to me, is that people are waiting for a _melee_ dodger. I think that still works, I'm building a full evasion/dodge shadow- so i'm going to find out the hard way- but only if you have at _least_ 4k life. The other problem is that keeping 50% evasion at high levels is somewhat difficult. Respect phase acrobatics. 30% to spell dodge ? That's very significant. I could survive merciless piety at -1 level and the only reason I could do that was spell dodge. |

the reason it is the way it is now is acrobatics is worth a shit.
most people just took ondars if they were already evasion, which no one went because physical mitigation was such a big deal. now with gear advancements and the weight being acrobatics doing 1/3rd of all the physical mitigation youll ever need, i would agree its quite common. |

Its only effective when you have 75% shield block, at least 60% evade chance, and acrobatics / phase accrobatics.
I can solo Kole and several map bosses with such a character, but his DPS is terrible because I've been unable to find a high phys and attack speed sword. I only have 2500 HP at level 79 too, but pretty much the rest of my build is life & evasion nodes. Currently at 23k evasion, with grace adding 10k alone with influence & charisma.

And, indeed, perhaps the most important note to "evasion fighters", is to keep a high-quality Enfeeble gem handy. Not even counting the damage reduction, smashing off 50-ish% of a monster's accuracy rating, when factored into other block/evade mechanics, thoroughly cripples their ability to hit with anything that is within the block-evasion mechanic.
#1 rule of official forum boards of every video game ever: use the forums to relay info, gather suggestions, or the rare narrow-focused Poll; but NEVER as "feedback".
#2 rule: Never say the #1 rule in an official capacity. Let some guy on the forums say it, leaving yourself plausible deniability. |

yes i would say that enfeeble is a must have. you also have to remember that blind is necessary for this to be successful. dont skip either. with high block evasion etc it works.
theres another route for mele in this situation and thats using the ai of the game for u with cast when stunned skeletons and zombies removing ur chance as a target all together. also u can get 2 bubble spectres removing projectile damage completely! being surrounded by minions is really good at removing u as a target.

Good advice, I'll remember to start levelling an enfeeble gem.
You really cant use BoR on an evasion build though because you need 1k+ evasion on your chest piece. I have a 1300+ evasion armour and shield with +5% block that made such a build viable, and ofc an anvil.

" I am more surprised that you quoted my almost 8 MONTHS OLD POST. At that time, I only had one character that was fully functional for maps, and two that were semi-retired. Today, I got 7 fully functional characters, two of which that were unretired after a full makeover. Nonetheless, I have 3 evasion characters, one of which that is close to what you quoted, and the other two which are melee, and are doing really well in maps. Acrobatics + Phase, Ondar's Guile, a ton of evasion , and any other status avoidance form an incredible synergy. Block and life just makes evasion builds even much better on top of what they got already. Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game. - raics, 06.08.2016 Last edited by JohnNamikaze#6516 on Feb 17, 2014, 6:57:20 PM
