High damage high evasion build

I like to solo but:

1) Mage doesn't work too good against boss AoE due to cast time and channel time

2) Brawler is has everything except damage though that's probably because of my build (AGI+INT)

3) Sniper x-bow has amazing dmg but low Eva without gearing up for it.

Going to test evasion supporter now z.z

Thanks

 

You don't need a lot of gears to evade a lot if you have the SP to spare:
10% from wearing a light armor;
10% from using Light Armor Mastery while wearing a light armor;
10% from using Advanced Evasion while wearing a light armor;
30% from Reflex.
That's already 60% evasion right off the bat (close to cap) without a single equip restriction (remodeling doesn't count).
The downsides from this is that Reflex only lasts 10 seconds on non-DW classes and it lowers your DEF and MDEF by 90%. So, you have two options:
1. Make a DW. The "easiest" option and doesn't restrict your combos, but doesn't do much damage and is limited at 60% unless you can sacrifice a bit of your other equips. However, it has a bunch of skills and passives that synergize well with an Evasion build.
2. Include Reflex as a filler skill in the combo. The more practical option, since it allows you to use more damaging classes, but kinda puts a restriction on your combos. You can also incorporate a Dagger for 75% Evasion (AKA cap), but it gives you a different dodge animation, which can be unwieldy.

 

The problem with option 1 is the attack motion that made me eat several boss AoEs whilst option 2 is practical, there are some SP wastage.

Do you know which weapons benefit from AGI?

 

Knuckle?

i hope this help :3

 

That blog is completely outdated, not a single bit of info is correct.

 

do u have a new one i can check out plz? ^^

 

My friend already posted everything known about evasion lol.

 

oh i see,saw this blog almost a year ago and i thought that it's correct since it suggest eva is working the same as cd% and cd

 

dw and knuckles have a benefit when itcomes to agi

 

Trying DW out now, the only real con with it is the attack animation that pins you down in one spot but I think I can figure out a work around.

 

lvl90 shadow step/phantom slash will do also charging slash. if u going for evasion type go full str dont go agi since dodge will come and steal the proc rate from evasion..

 

If you ever consider making a Brawler Evasion build again. Try it out with a Mirror Shield, Light Armor Mastery, Advanced Evasion, alongside Light Armor, and maxed Shield Mastery. I like this build myself as it doesn't clash with the AGI gain of flee and uses the Evasion as extra padding. You'll also find that a +B shield will make a notable difference for when you do get it. It's a nice middle of the road in terms of flee/reductions/evasion.

If you decide to put further points into shield skills. I recommend the passive HP increases if you party with a tank often. As they will take care of Aegis and Protection, making the skill points feel wasted. If you don't, then Aegis by itself helps a lot when it comes to magical damage. Assuming you can survive a few hits of course. Protection adds another nice layer of padding.

Anyway good luck. o:.
