Bottom right of skill tree needs better defensive options
" Exactly, you nailed it. This is basic defense 101, stuff everyone should know after playing for years. Instead, we usually get the classic 'It's just RNG' excuse, especially from players who don't even make proper use of evasion or, presumably, any other defensive layers in combination.

bottom right has spell suppression - the best defensive layer bang per buck in the game
this + anything else you pick 'solves' spells as a bonus - easy access to ailment immunity now, the attacks - evasion is ofc good for that. being hit every Nth time is great, leaves room for recovery and if you play as you should - from range - it is perfectly enough problem with that - mob soup type of content: ritual and the likes makes it impossible to play from range, esp in T17 (layouts) but there is also an upside: the harder the content, the more evasion is redundant because attacks become rarer and rarer. in fact i cannot name any serious attack (that you arent supposed to 100% dodge like Shaper Slam) in the 'pinnacle' area of the game. thus you can safely half-invest into evasion and dont worry much about it - generic investment from hybrid bases + blind gives enough. pure evasion is a death wish waiting to materialise. much better to go AR/EV or ES/EV and blunt the inevitable hit the last bit, and most likely one that kills the most EV characters - DoTs. that one is tough |

" None of your suppositions entitles you to use me or anyone else as your forum punching bag. There is a great deal to be read about your character from your posts, as well, and it has nothing to do with how you play PoE. Your smirking, ad hominem attacks on anyone with whom you disagree mark you as a glorified playground bully, and I'm hardly the only one to notice it. If this comes across as "too negative," well, the Mods have been asleep at the wheel where you are concerned, and this forum would be well-served by the vigorous muting of aggressive keyboard cowboys like yourself. ='[.]'= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/
