Yes, this thread won't really go anywhere until some people who have actually made it to HC Cruel Act3+ with pure evasion builds (without converting them all to armour) come and have their say.

I know devmoon runs a pure Evasion/Acrobatics character and has made it to Merciless multiple times. Also he did high level maps in closed beta on a similar build.

I still think pure evasion is better than armor but you need the life to support it. Obviously going pure evasion and 1500 life is really dumb, but I would think full evasion with something like 4k life would be much stronger than armor. Also block is rolled after evasion, so if you have high block you may just block the hits you don't evade.

The whole point of getting a lot of armor is to reduce the damage you take from huge hits. Unfortunately in this game the harder you get hit the less your armor protects you.
