#4520, "Which of parry, dodge, shield block, and evade does the legacy Autumn Harvest improve?"

And I saw a reference to it getting a nerf a few years back. Still viable?
Obviously soaking vs. avoidance are very different, but how would experienced players compare it to Gates of the Forge under common circumstances (1 and 2 size differences)?

Is that you have to gear differently to use it. So you are giving up other gear benefits to improve ac. Less so as a svirf because of your inherent stone skin, and generally good ac stuff.
I took gates as an Arial and whilst it was ok, I don't think I'd take it again if I still played, except maybe as a duergar (since dwarf doesn't appeal to me).

It affects only dodge. The greater the difference the better.

I don't remember this happening. Still a good legacy from my experience.

I don't think you can compare the two very easily. Gates helps against all damage, not just dodge able attacks. Personally I would take gates if you think you can maintain a low AC.

Gates damage reduction is based off AC and not weight of armor? How much AC do you need to make it worth it, 200? 300? Over 9000?
