Evasion only Builds (with Acrobatics) possible?

Hello everyone,

After the update 0.2 I asking for some input from the experienced players.

I like builds that rely on evasion.
With 0.1.1 I had previously played a Deadye build that relied on evasion only. This also included Acrobatics.
With Acrobatics I had 82% evasion at lvl 92 (Acrobatics+WindDancer+TailWind). Unfortunately, I no longer know the absolute value. Maybe ~9000 Evasion?

With the evasion and ~3000 life I got through the maps well. With 0.2 it looks different, of course. Acrobatics (with 75% reduction) reduces the evasion so much that I can't think of any way to compensate it at the moment. Even if I grab every point in the tree, I can currently only manage ~71% evasion.

My question now is whether any of you already have a concept of how to play with Full Evasion + Acrobatics.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

Hyrri's Ire gives you "can evade all hits if not hit recently" buts its like 20 div. basically gives you acrobatics without the huge reduction.
at that investment hybrid eva/es is tankier imo.

yeah its totally possible, I did everything entry level T15 and below with just evasion no acrobatics and only 1500 health (ssf) with scuffed gear

yes I sometimes died occasionally to weird random things I could not ever see, but evasion players know all about that, and with the changes to number of entries per map, being a glass cannon is much more forgiving

however, it feels much better at juiced T15 and 'content' like ritual/breach, to have layered defenses like a shield or ES hybrid gear as a health buffer to survive random errant bs

it's also much more 'comfy' to have layers of defenses, so it doesnt feel like you are playing a top down bullet hell with invisible bullets all the time

Not for a Bow Build but Spear can use a Buckler that grant passive block chance. It pair well with the loss of evasion from Acrobatic without much investment.

Thanks for the suggestions.

So there seem to be the following options:
Option 1: no Acrobatics for bow builds but for spear builds
Option 2: no Acrobatics but Hyrri's Ire as a replacement

As it seems no one else sees a possibility to use Acrobatics as (Bow) Pure Eva Defense either.

That's not what I would like to play with this bow build but I guess that's what it comes down to. Thanks again.

It could be an option to play with blind, to reduce the enemies hit chance and therefore make it easier to evade their hits.

The Acrobatics nerf actually means 1/6 less evasion than before.
Wind dancer flat value and stack quality are practically non-existent.

This is idiotic over-nerf, to the point this keystone went from T0 must have to useless garbage.

You can invest 10 mirrors, and it will still be nothing but useless.

I can sit at around 19,000 evasion

helms : black insignia corsair cap - 300 EV (+ tailwind)
Body: 2000 EV
gloves: 200 EV
boots 300 EV
Shield 400EV
ring 50EV

Enhanced reflexes - Incr. 30% EV
Bestial Skin - 100% EV from Chest
Blur - Incr. 20% EV
Cat like reflexes - Incr. 25% EV +40% EV after dodge roll

and be ~ 85% to 90% evade chance, dexterity dependant slightly too.

this will drop to around 63% evade chance with acrobatics. if im constantly dodge rolling (yuk) and with some stacks of tailwind (3 to 5) ill have ~ 73% evade chance.

I would need to go into "careful consideration"
30% reduced Evasion Rating if you have been Hit Recently
100% increased Evasion Rating if you haven't been Hit Recently, to get towards the 80% EV I would like. I think its just too inhibitive at 75% less instead of 70% less from before 0.2.0. Especially for those who take that node are likely to rely on evasion only as their main defensive layer
