Too Much EVA?

Sekka +2 (+9 Agi, +20 Evasion)

354 base skill
+70 Evasion
+20 Agi
+10 Evasion Skill

I know this is a set for Ninja... but I've tanked a few "bigger" things with it and can I think explain how it fares.

For abyssea these things are fairly easy
T2 VNM (RR/Mounted Champion/AoA) : Tank in full DPS gear
T3 VNM (RR/Cloak & Dagger/AoA) : Attowha Chasm is easily solo-able

Hydra / Cerberus
Heros T1 ToAU NM's (RR/Cloak & Dagger/AoA) : Evasion rate not capped with full DPS gear, but the above set is a bit much.
Heros T2 ToAU NM's (RR/Cloak & Dagger/AoA) : Full evasion set gets me near evasion cap, but I'd need to improve a bit to hit it solidly

Visions NM : tank in full DPS
Visions Zone boss : use a mix of DPS/Evasion

Scars NM : tank in mixed DPS/evasion
Scars Zone Boss : Tank in full DPS with support or full evasion otherwise

Heros NM : Tank in mixed DPS/evasion
Heros Zone Boss : Tank in Evasion gear


TL;DR... the above set isn't enough to hit max evasion on everything I have wanted to tank on Ninja. It's close though.

That might be true but dnc gets evasoin bonuses :). Part of why I love being a thf friggin cap evade rate in 0 gear/atmas on so many things lol. The one time I've ever set an evasion atma I didn't feel to bad since I had no food on me and I needed accuracy too anyways since it was evading fairly nicely

DNC gets eva bonuses but NIN gets Yonin. It's about the same overall.

Dnc gets 35 nin gets 30-10. But nin has 13 more base skill... so on average about the same.

On the other hand nin loses 30-5 acc to do that and already has less acc than dnc to begin with (except those lol dncs that still use joy toy)

And some dancers merit Closed Position for even more Evasion.

But NIN can sub Dancer for another 25 Evasion.

I can hardly believe that there is a low cap of 20% hit rate or other way around, an 80% evasion cap. Maybe there is a difference between monster cap and player cap? then again, back in the old days skilling up gaxe on drk in besieged didnt really feel like I was hitting 1 out of 5. Could of course just be a wrong interpretation of mine using the terms "lucky streaks" vs. "unlucky streaks". Im going to test that going afk on nin with a bunch of aggroed too weak mobs.

I solo in this...



With RR/GH/Evasion:Major atma + 4/4 evasion merrits, I have no use for ichi (well, at least on things that don't spam GA). It's overkill as even zone bosses barely hit me, but it's nice and safe!

The same gear with RR/VV/GH is more challenging. I'd have to parse it, but eyeballing, i'd say 90 zone bosses hit maybe 50% of the time.
