Base Character Evasion Rating has been lowered to 15 (previously 53). Characters no longer gain Evasion Rating per level.

Does that mean, if I don't raise Dexterity monster will just start to always hit me? And even if I do raise Dex they will still hit me way more easily?

Is this a nerf to "easily" stackable evasion on the upper end? Or will this make life almost impossible early on for an evasion gameplay?
Can anybody help me with this question?

It only affects base evasion. Also, Dexterity grants 2% increased evasion for 10 dexterity you have.

So example - before nerf:

Character level + 500 evasion
Let's say + 3000 evasion on dexterity gear
Usually Jade Flask + 3000 evasion
Lastly we can say the build would have 250% increased evasion rating from passive tree and dexterity bonus combined.
That is 6500 x 3,5 = 22 750 evasion - which is some 60% chance to evade normal monster without any further modifiers, like Raider ascendancy or Blind on enemy...

Now - after nerf:

Character level basically + 0 evasion
Gear is same, so + 3000
Flask got nerfed, so + 1500
Same stats, so 250% increased evasion.
That is 4500 x 3,5 = 15 750 evasion - which is 50% chance to evade normal monster.

So it means, that on lower end, the change is not that bad, including the Jade Flask which received much greater nerf than the base stat. But if you want higher evade chance, or even the evade cap of 75% against strong enemies, you either have to invest a bit more, by playing raider, using Blind or so...

Skip.

I took a summoner from struggling on base Sirus to being able to kill A9 Sirus. 500 hours worth of grinding on a slow build nearly having it's gem damage bonuses halved is not a great feeling. You said you wanted to push people to other supports that aren't damage based but some of those were nerfed even harder than the damage supports.

Although I loved the Vaal Double Strike buff I believe I'll skip this league. Too many nerfs and too many "reworks", too much power loss and nothing else interesting to compensate, just increased numerical values of some skills. No mention on defenses, so we are still paper-thin and the tree doesn't grant anything to counter the lack of it aside from some flask nodes that grant shitty things and nothing else. I've never taken a break before and now I think is a good time to do it. Good luck, everyone!

Ditto

I miss prophecy, wormblaster, big CoC's and stuff like that, not meta, but fun builds, i'd rather kill minotaur in 10 secs with 1000 cool hits and not in 1 sec with a flashy 1 shot :c
