    So I'm thinking of remaking my Brawler into a 170 Agi - 42 Vit Brawler with some evasion from Light Remodel and Eva UP. But I can't figure out what to use as sub.
    Dagger - there are a lot of options for dagger for stats, but I feel like the slide back evasion is a little bothersome.
    Shield - Mirror Shield will complement LR and Eva UP nicely, but it requires me to put at least 5pts to Shield Mastery if I want to mitigate the Aspd penalty.
    MD - there's no reason to wear MD if I'm not going to use Impact. It also lessen the proc of my Brawler skills. A big no no.

    Also, I feel like putting points to the 2 shield skills is a waste. The added Def/Mdef barely makes a difference, especially against hard hitting bosses. And because VIT HP scales with level, the flat 1K HP from shield passives would become less significant on later caps. 20pts for 1K HP seems too much.

    Been thinking if the stats from a dagger(bush knife for offensive, storm for defensive) is worth the backslide. Or going no sub is better.

    the knife with Evasion +10% and Mole Eyes (Evasion +10%) then, start combo with Assault Attack Lv.1 i guess?
    so that when you backslide you follow it up with a combo

    The problem is when I backslide mid-combo. It won't interrupt my combo(I think), but it will delay my execution since I have to walk back in range.

    yes, shield with Evasion+10% (Mirror Shield) would be your best bet in that situation if you don't want your combos do be interrupted when doing Evasion.
    only 1 Level to Shield Mastery, however, every level on it reduces ASPD penalty by 10% when equipping shields.

    or maybe don't learn Shield Mastery at all as long as your ASPD is above the minimum
