arrowing dancing is the worst i'd say

not only is it bad, but its poorly worded IMO as well. since its chance to evade, mentioning that it is specific to attacks is redundant. as you can only evade attacks already. its implied.

that keystone overall just bugs me.

IDK how Imbalanced Guard gets into the list tho, i would take it every single time if they move it a little bit closer to the templar or Scion tree.

Imbalanced guard

The others you mention can be useful or even strong in some cases

Arrow Dancing has its uses, since it's harder to get evasion against projectiles....against melee, there are several ways to lower enemy accuracy, but they're all "nearby enemies..." kind of thing.

Doomsday is a key for Hexblast nuke builds.

I'd go with Dance with Death due to massive penalties, especially since it's usually criticals that cause the infamous oneshots out of nowhere.

Second Sight might work with Lycosidae or Effigon, but Dance with Death? The latter is just very bad. You lose base hit points and resists from lack of helmet. You also lose gem sockets. Probably some hipster assassin or stacking a lot of reduced crit damage taken, and using a lightning skill.

Its not on your list but Elemental Overload

gating the non crit version of every elemental build behind this is bad design, it should have been removed as a keystone and rolled into a gem ages ago.

None hispter pick aside i'd also go with dance with death, this would be a credible keystone if diamond flask wasn't a thing but until then its just choosing a full statted and enchanted helmet over a flask -_-

Imbalanced guard is a very strong keystone. I suspect you think it affect your ele resists or something if you think its bad
