Evasion up?

[SurrealRogue]

I generate a fair amount of hate with Raging Fists now, specially if I'm berserked at the time :sweat:

I was considering loading up on some +evasion gear... just looking for some opinions.. but would it be worthwhile to get +evasion up to like +20 or so?

And what rank is our evasion exactly? I think it is B, but would like some confirmation.

If it is worthwhile, what body or legs or boots would you suggest for a 44 monk?

Thanks

It's a B, while our guard is A.

Really, I'd prolly eventually invest in some Equipment that effects your Counterattack... If you can lvl both Guard and Evasion and be efficient with your Counterattacks, you can actually make for a good tank...

Granted, I do understand that you're lvl 44, and the first real thing you can get to increase your Counterattack is the Cross-Counters at 49. The weapons will lower your Eva, but at the end you're sacrificing one def for another.

there's always leaping boots and emperor hairpins

but then again, i just dont really care, all i do is maximize my dmg output, coz i trust my tanks, even if i draw aggro, when a monster hits you hard enuf, you'll loss all the aggro, that's when mnk's high HP kicks in, you'll be able to have high enuf HP to withstand the dmg and loss Hate, yea this will stress the healers, then again you have chakra to make it up abit, or just tell yer whm that no heal is needed unless necessary.

I'd say don't worry about the evasion gear so much. Consider ninjas that have A- evasion, usually have anywhere between 15-25 +evasion in gear, but I'm willing to bet still get hit like gangbusters when utsusemi is down, at least at higher levels.

Just do damage, keep in mind you only need to take as much damage as your raging fists caused before the hate is back to where it was before you used it, as a worst-case scenario. The pld or war or nin should be able to voke/heal hate back before then.

I'm waiting to see how much more hate I generate at 48...going from 10/91 weapons to 15/86, and trading brown belt for lifebelt...so I should be hitting for a lot more damage, connecting more hits, at only slightly slower speed. Dangerous.
