What are the benefits of choosing Iron Reflexes?

If you don't take Iron Reflexes, Ondar's Guile is mandatory. In fact, if Ondar's Guile didn't exist, I would say that it was always the best choice to go IR or armor.

Being immune to some of the heaviest hitting mobs (though not bosses) in the game without having to go CI is just so tasty, though, especially as a ranged shieldless character.

I'd like to point out RT and IR make dex a worthless stat, i have 353 attributes which is supposed to be somewhat beneficial for a bow user but in fact it might as well be zero.

why gimping yourself then? drop RT (not nessessary after accuracy decrease patch) and IR (makes the most OP keystone (OG) useless for your char?

Evasion only really works well when you combine it with block, and a very good amount of it.

That limits evasion to a very tiny pool of builds.

Armor doesn't need anything "extra" to work well, besides a large HP/ES pool, which you need no matter what.

I have 83-84% accuracy w/o RT. 2 points for 16% more chance to hit is more effective dps than any 2 nodes could offer. I also have base crit so the lack of crit does not really hurt me.

Sounds like bad gear. Edit: also, what level are you?

It estimates your chance to hit against mobs that are the same level of you. Meaning, if you are level 85, it's estimating your chance to hit against level 85 mobs, which don't exist in the game.

What an utterly idiotic reply.
