#54, "December 11 - Evade"
|
So, evade. I generally hate evade, FWIW. I was playing Hunsobo when evade was implemented. Pre-evade, as a Greeting sword spec with nodisarm swords, strange bracers, etched dragonscale pendants, and imperial tactics, I was tough to beat (or survive) if I could bash you.
Post-evade? People actually had a chance to get away sometimes. It SUCKED!
Until my next char, an elf dagger spec.
I digress. This post is to share some actual information about Evade.
First off, the BEST chance you can really ever have to evade something is probably about 12%. That's with full-on edges, perfected evade, 25 dex, and everything going exactly right.
Secondly, as it stands right now, evade cares quite a bit more about your dexterity than your evade skill. For instance, an arial invoker (a class without the evade skill at all) has a better chance to evade than a giant warrior with 100% evade.
Come back tomorrow for another post! Have something you'd like to see me post about? Email me at twist@carrionfields.com.

I guess not.
Also, those things like "stopping the attack with nothing but baleful gaze of the undead", are they just fancy-echoed cases of evade?

So then from a technical stand point with giants having to be to frugal with their practice sessions. Is it even much a of benefit to take the time to practice evade at all?

Really? Is it based on intelligence or something that would make this not worthwhile?
