You can find a number of assorted similar responses about evade seeming funky if you search the bugboard.

They evaded your offensive skill, which while the skill normally might not start combat, did since they evaded it.

Pretty sure it'll stay that way, but fancy codey folks can respond and tell us otherwise :).
