Acrobatics Value?

23

When is acrobatics a good investment.

I am working on an evasion energy shield build and am not sure if it's worth trying to fit on acrobatics. Should I use less evasion gear and scale up my ED more or is it better to use more hybrid gear and try to get acrobatics in as well?

I’m playing a deadeye and only recently took acrobatics when I could reach 60% evasion with it. Fully buffed I’m at 70% evasion and it feels amazing. With some more investment I think I could get to 75%.

Before that 60% mark though it felt bad. If you are going evasion ES I doubt it would be worth it. Probably better to invest in more ES for a greater health pool

I see everyone recommending when you reach 50% evasion after applying acrobatics (and before any other buffs). Seems low to me but yeah. Maybe 75% is more reasonable/achievable with the 20% res buff

FYI I recommend upgrading wind dancer quality to 20% too for extra charge.

I've seen ~14k evasion thrown around by a few different build makers, though I don't know how accurate that is.

With high evasion you'll never ever die to melee hits or projectiles, but you'll still die to random aoe and slams. Acrobatics helps this a ton

Wind dancer is a must have for obvious reasons with an evasion build, but it synergizes with ghost dance, since wind dancer only gets removed from melee damage. If you end up taking a big aoe, you won't lose wind dancer and instead you'll just keep your 80% more evasion or whatever it is

You can hold alt or shift, I dont remember, and see what % evasion you’ll have with it. Aim for at leat 65% or 60% without tailwind buff. Should be easy with a good chest, amulet annoint and a few nodes. It is insanely good while mapping, I barely die in T15.
