Evasion + Acrobatics + Blind

As an evasion based deadeye explosive shot+galvanic yea, it kinda works BUT

1)You are getting deleted from dots too fast.

2)hardly anyone want to try their luck with evasion, if literally 1 hit can make you lose your boss entry. Which is truly sad. These won't be such a problem with 6 portals for bosses, at least, but for now....

I'm waiting for patch notes and then gonna run both arbiter and other bosses probably.

Also if you can squeeze it, wind dancer is awesome for a evasion build. Its 60-76% more evasion(with quality, based on lvl of aura)

200k tempest flurry in hideout and 850 crit bonus? I'm mostly interested in that, haha.

I didn't pick up a lot of crit multi because they tooltip DPS said that the changes to the base damage (such as attack damage or elemental damage) were more impactful than getting more crit multi. Still, how did you get so much?

Evasion is great until it's not. I'm pushing an evasion acro deadeye in t15s and 99% of the time you don't take any damage. But then you do and oof. Damage auras feel especially brutal without ES. Once I get enough money I'll likely switch over to a tankier es setup.

What are linking blind to? Sorry I’m confused.

What armor bases have the highest evade possibility?

Where is most of your evasion coming from after i take acrobatics the highest i can get is 40% ish?

I’m running 85% evasion and 75% phys reduction (through monk ascendancy) and feel very good, better than my stormweaver for sure.

I’m running wind dancer; would ghost dance be more effective? I actually have spirit for both, but would have to lose an attack skill…

You can do both pretty easily from monk position imo. 2700 evasion chest; 500 es helm with sutrfuge mask + bestial skin + spectral ward; and some scaling on tree from hybrid ev/es. it helps that monk gets a billion spirit so its trivial to fit every aura you could want.

5k es + 75-80% acrobatics evade. Though hard to get the blind effect scaling.

why is your crit rate so low? you're basically getting less than half value from all that crit bonus

Does that get you to can't be hit space?

I have blind linked with herald of thunder. Lvl 86 doing t15s pretty easy, sitting at 10k evasion with acrobatics applied. Wind dancer + tailwind help A TON when building evasion. Running a belt with two charm slots and picked up the third from the passive tree. You feel very tanky tbh.

Blind isn't only strong for pure evasion, it's great for hybrid evasion as well. Just like in PoE1, it's underappreciated by most players because you can't see its effect in the character sheet. Having a single jewel with %chance to blind on hit is a significant defensive boon.

Man it really sucks that good and high investment builds like this are gimped because there's a 1/10 shot you just die to some random huge slam and lose your entire map or portal, so the whole paradigm becomes worthless without compromising the archetype by using ES since single hit physical EHP is just impossible to get without it.

Tailwind excluded maybe, but ugh.

With this build depending on where you are on the tree, there’s a couple nodes towards the bottom center of the tree. Grants evasion for every point of armour on gloves… then grants % of evasion as armour. Helps my evasion character bulk a little bit with around %50 armour on top of 78% evasion with Acrobatics.

Good post, most people are probably overlooking how useful Blind is for pushing your evasion closer to the cap. Every evasion build should be trying to fit it in somewhere.

Acrobatics is incredibly powerful as long as you have enough hit points to not get killed in one hit. It's really amazing for a Deadeye and Invoker because they have additional one-hit-death protection from Wind Ward and Protect Me From Harm. My Deadeye with 2.2k HP and 500 ES feels quite a bit more tanky than my Sorceress with 8k ES.

Other classes need more investment to build up an added HP/ES buffer or they just have to roll the dice on the big hits. But if you're on a budget you can get a lot of mileage out of a 75% acrobatics build with Blind and 2k HP and only get killed every once in a while.

Can you share how you get up to 130% blind effect? And what is your chance to blind with hits or do you rely on the blind gem?

I'm actually at 80% evasion with acro, usually breeze through t15 but have issue with bosses due to 1 shot. Wondering if I should get blind or beef up dmg even higher to speed up the boss fights.

I'm kinda running this on my poisonous concoction pathfinder but with ci. Lower total es pool, but not having to cap chaos res frees up so much space on gear

I'm currently at 76% evasion with acrobatics, sadly only 3k ES with cropswaders, 4k with proper boots. Before grim feast.

I'm running Ethernal youth so I can just spam my life flask with boubbling for dots and regain es mid combat.

Is acrobatics worth it? I guess it must be but somehow haven’t taken it yet.

I remember when evasion+dodge+blind aura was really strong. Damn son the old version of DO Occultist was insane.

I'm fairly new to poe but can someone help me understand this? OP said 74% evasion with acrobatics, and 45% blind accuracy reduction but still got hit by the arm. So 74% + 45% isn't 100%+ evasion?

It’s a big spirit cost and I’m lucky I’ve got so many items to run this, but I’ve just shifted to adding in blasphemy with enfeeble added in. You can add gemcutter prisms to enfeeble and blasphemy which is great too, but I’ve felt like the balance between damage reduction, and evasion is great.

I’ve got 240 spirit witch hunter merc. Herald of ash, ice, and thunder, overwhelming presence, wind dancer, and blasphemy. Running explosive shot.

Still working on getting evasion maxed, but it’s going great.

Sir please stop teasing me with these titty flashes and show me the real deal - i.e tree (So that I may copy and still fail like the noob I am) - Thanks!
