Acrobatics is beyond borderline Bad!

To be fair, there is a good chance that the people using acrobatics is using it for a timeless jewel keystone. Unless poeninja fixed that.

It was used in tota for the cheese builds.

In my mind it could have some use cases with ward/evasion.

Its certainly not popular as a defensive keystone. But then again neither is eternal youth and there are some interesting builds enabled/strengthened significantly by that keystone.

Perhaps op, you/we just don't know a great application for it.

Yes, I don't. Ik PoE is extremly complex and unplayable stuff at first glance could prove playable at another glance, but Acrobatics takes the cake for me.

Acrobatic IS bad

but mostly due to price (direct and opportunity cost)

75% Acro is the same avoidance as 75% spell block BUT:

- blocked hits can trigger stuff, avoiding them - cannot. this is the first serious difference.

- price. capping spell block got much cheaper in recent patches

- suppression is THE best defensive mechanic in the game bang-per-buck. replacing is always going to replace better with worse

so yeah, avoidance or not - it is just bad. and ALL characters ive checked on ninja used this keystone for timeless jewel.. maybe there are exceptions but ive stopped after 5th
